2011 Tour de Suisse, Stage 7: Vaduz (FL) - Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis, 222.8 km

RGesink took the picture I guess, garate on the left
From Barredo - Con amore - that part is awesome.

They sort of look alike, but the guy on the left is Barredo.

 

[Moondance]

Nearing the top of the pass - and the break still at 8 mins - GC boys not racing today then.

They're still almost 80 kms away from the final climb of the day.... There's still plenty of time.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

the entire St. Moritz training camp crew is there. So that's Barredo, Niermann, Gesink, LL Sanchez, Garate and Martens I think?

 

[Havetts]

Mhm, fair enough. Its pretty awesome though, haven't seen it that often that riders are encouring their team mates on the road .

Rabo riders on altitude training supporting their teammates on the Fluelapass:

So those are the official nicknames?

Stevo=Kruijswijk
Peewee=Pieter Weening
Butcher=Slagter
LTD=Laurens ten Dam
Escartin=Mollema?? What's the thing with the ears?
Matti=Matti Breschel

 

[The Sheep]

Never seen Mollema's ears?

 

[Tuarts]

Now link each rider to their nickname please.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Well

Thats why the ears

Nice nick tho, Escartin

 

[Bala Verde]

Ah, yes... the ears...

I always thought it was "buikje" because he had a tendency too eat like a horse (and even manage to gain weight)

I wouldn't settle the debate just yet.

Bakelants and De Gendt on the attack once again! Nice to see Belgians going all Voecklerstyle

 

[jens_attacks]

[Moondance]

Rabobank setting the pace again.

The Butcher, Matti, and Peewee must be getting tired by now.

 

[Bala Verde]

I wouldn't settle the debate just yet.

How did I miss that the first time...

 

[Havetts]

Is there an stream up ?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yeah nice style. But wouldn't you rather see them battle the favorites directly for once?

The Dutch with their little nicknames are almost as funny as the Germans

That ranks with Soler/Columbian comment Yesterday. More generalizations....

 

[Cobblestoned]

Raboday here today, after a Dutch rider saved the planet yesterday.
If the messias will ever return - he will wear a Rabobank jersey for sure.
But the Dutch still relatively calm today.
Seems like they are still little bit tired from yesterday.
