2011 Tour de Suisse, Stage 6: Tobel-Tägerschen - Triesenberg/Malbun, 157.7 km

[Ferminal]

Have to give credit to M. Frank for his ride today.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Oh no! He forgot to zip up his jersey!

 

[jobiwan]

What a win!!! Chapeau!

 

[Kwibus]

F*CK YEAH!

Very nice Kruijswijk!

And to Ferminal: Grats!

 

[zapata]

Bah. That was pretty awful. Props to Kruijswiik, but.

 

[dlwssonic]

imagine what frank could have done if he didnt crash. could have been dueling it out with kruiswijk.

 

[VeloCity]

Cunego looked absolutely spent at the end.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Van Garderen +2:13

Ai... he went to deep in the red following

 

[perico]

why is he called bottle btw?

In his first go around with USPS, Lance didn't know his name, and would just point to him and say "Bottle."

 

[El Pistolero]

Nice winner, but what a boring stage this was.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

awesome finish.

all the riders look completely wrecked.

How good is Kruijswijk

Mollema ended well also in 4th place.

Frank was brilliant.

Cunego well done, I thought he'd struggle but he did a great job also.

Van Garderen +2:13

shouldnt have gone for that pointless sprint yesterday.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Note of the day, I'm becoming more and more certain on my view of F.Schleck as a climber. Too inconsistent, and simply not good enough in general. He'd best be fully supporting Andy for the Tour.

 

[Kwibus]

TJVG once again lost a lot of time on a climb.

Great talent. I hope for him he can improve his climbing.

 

[LukeSchmid]

imagine what frank could have done if he didnt crash. could have been dueling it out with kruiswijk.

Yes, a great effort to come back like that. Wonder how far he was behind at the bottom. Might even have had the quickest time.

I was wrong before I thought Frank and Tshopp had got back to the peleton but obviously was wrong.

 

[dlwssonic]

In his first go around with USPS, Lance didn't know his name, and would just point to him and say "Bottle."

haha and for what reason is it because he is tiny.

 

[kurtinsc]

Van Garderen +2:13

Ai... he went to deep in the red following

Too much for him I guess. Still has a ways to go on the steeper gradients it seems.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Nice winner, but what a boring stage this was.

the riders were wrecked. High pace, you attack to early and you pay dearly.

 

[Parrulo]

Van Garderen +2:13

Ai... he went to deep in the red following

lol where are the people saying he was looking better for the overall lol

 

[thirteen]

has anybody heard anything more on Soler?

Yes, Frank is very overrated as a climber and GC-rider, I think.

 

[RedZone]

In his first go around with USPS, Lance didn't know his name, and would just point to him and say "Bottle."

Haha, I thought it was because other riders carry him up the mountains.

 

[dlwssonic]

tschopp way down too due to the crash, just shows what a ride frank did.

 

[El Pistolero]

the riders were wrecked. High pace, you attack to early and you pay dearly.

They're going to suffer at the Tour then.

 

[ManInFull]

Hilarious. I will assume that Lance was telling him to go get a bottle from the team car or to give him a bottle.
