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

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Most likely they will end 6, 9 and 11 or something

yeah

I'd assumme Mollema could hang on for a top 5.

I have a feeling Cunego wont be so good today.
Soler is good enough to win, but I'm not sure it is a certain thing like Ryo suggests.
Frank schleck will proaby make top 3 also.

nice finale anyway... who to bet on

 

[jobiwan]

btw ty for creating some good race threads lately jobi ^_^

Why thank you!!

 

[Eric8-A]

I have to ask, who's TGBM?

 

[dlwssonic]

go frank and tschopp get into a top 10, a win even better! frank schleck and cunego will do well.

 

[auscyclefan94]

go frank and tschopp get into a top 10, a win even better! frank schleck and cunego will do well.

Hopefully they can get a stage win along the way. I think Frank has got good form in that he can top 10 on gc.

having a look at the profile, seems to be a pretty steady climb in that the gradient doesn't have many super steep pitches or any flatish km's. You can get into a tempo easily.

 

[Kwibus]

I hope I will be home in time to watch the final climb as this should be a lot of fun.

Very nice TdS so far. Haven't been able to watch much of the last 2 stages, but the finishes were fun for ' flat ' stages.

 

[Frosty]

This stage doesn't really allow for any special plans, it's a sprint to the foot of the climb and then every man is left to fend for himself.

Yeah, seems like a fairly straightforward stage. Maybe the profile tomorrow will mean that (any) cunning plans are kept stowed away until then?

Cunego looked pretty awesome the other day so will go for him again. Not sure that Cunego has enough time over the others to be properly defensive yet and he will look to extend his lead IMO.

 

[Magnus]

Yeah + cunning plans haven't always been Rabobank's strongest point in the past .

The downhill attack in Paris-Nice 09 (?) was kind of cunning.

 

[El Pistolero]

Of Luis Leon Sanchez? ... Of Caisse Depargne?

Of Luis Leon Sanchez? ... Of Caisse Depargne?

Yeah, don't know what that is about. They did however tear the peloton apart in the echelon stage. But hey, if you only listen to Wuyts, you don't notice those things

 

[Michielveedeebee]

meh if we only listened to Wuyts and you to Mart Smeets, we would all love Armstrong

 

[The Sheep]

meh if we only listened to Wuyts and you to Mart Smeets, we would all love Armstrong

Molkema >>>> Armstrong

 

[Shardi]

Shape-test for Andy/Fränk perhaps. Dont think Cunego will sustain the whole climb. Leipheimer to gain some time on Van Garderen / Fuglsang.

Soler or F.Schleck for the stage, unless a break survives.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

what time will they probably begin the climb? I hope I'll be home in time

 

[search]

what time will they probably begin the climb? I hope I'll be home in time

between 16:43 and 17:05 according to the "Marschtabelle"

[Ferminal]

...so Frank has history on his side?

 

[Tuarts]

He has a soigneur called Charlemagne?

:coat:

 

[nesocip]

Looking at those 2004 results its sad to see that only 3 sponsors still remain in the sport. Quickstep, Rabo and Lampre.

And 7 years isnt an awful lot of a time.

euskaltel, lotto, francaise des jeux, cofidis, not to mention teams that have continued with other sponsors like movistar, htc, saxo, europcar, bmc and many more

cycling has more stability in team structures and sponsors than ever before.

 

[nesocip]

I meant from the teams that appear on that list, obviously.

yeah would be really happy if they get a stage win its their home race afterall. frank might be going for the KOM.

 

[roundabout]

Soler had a fall according to the ticker.

 

[theyoungest]

Guess who crashed already?

(hint: it's not Fränk Schleck)
