2013 Tour de Suisse, Stage 2: Quinto - Crans Montana 160Km

[Parrulo]

First big GC shake out of the race, first opportunity to see who the contenders will be and if Meyer can capitalize on his prologue gains.

Anyone has a link for the profile of the last climb?

 

[Afrank]

I found something better than a profile, but you have to go to the link for it.

Hope Tejay climbs better than he TTed today, could see Dan Martin and Rui Costa doing well here, Rui to take it. Will be interesting to see how Dombro does as well (although it's still his first year, so I'm not realistically expected a ton from him).

The winner before Soler on Crans Montana is also a tragic story

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Hoping Meyer can somehow hold on to the leader jersey, but I doubt it.

maybe if hesjedal still has his Giro form.....

 

[Afrank]

Okay, Rui will definitely win and donate the win to him.

What, Tony Martin?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

What, Tony Martin?

Ok, before him, Thomas Dekker you know. In 2007 (with some fresh blood probably )

I knew what you meant, but realised you had clearly forgotten the 2009 Tour de Suisse.

In which case, can you please tell me how you did it so I can see if it works for me too?

It was such a horrible TdS I simply forgot they ever organised it that year

 

[Kokoso]

Kreuziger podium, if there are no breakaway riders.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

With a couple of stages ending after descents, this man

must take advantage immediately.

Will there be a train up Crans-Montana? Orica? Nah, but Garmin might try.

[Jason_Mercier]

Kreuziger podium, if there are no breakaway riders.

Has shown something in a stage race this year?

 

[Jason_Mercier]

Kreuziger, Antón... the eternal contendes. If they take a Top10 then will be lucky...
