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

[burning]

Brit fans were cheering some rider to get 1 WT point for obvious reasons

That rider is the best cyclist in the world 2 years later

Yeah,its hard to believe.I'll say no more...

 

[happytramp]

Wonder how Dan Martin is feeling.

 

[ILovecycling]

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

This.
But Saxo need points,so I hope Roche and Kreuziger can deliver something.As for Anton - stage win.

SOLER !!!! HE'S BACK!!! YES _o_

Lol, that comment about Froome... just two years ago, it was a miracle to see Froome go up a mountain anywhere close to the leaders.

 

[SafeBet]

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

Or Andrey Amador. He seems in excellent shape.

 

[The GCW]

Happytramp,

I was also wondering about how Dan Martin is feeling. Ryder may help Dan Suisse a win (and conserve) and Dan helps in the T de F next. It's too bad Dan hit that corner wrong today.

Garmin

 

[movingtarget]

Lots of if and buts on this stage. Scarponi coming out of the Giro. Ryder not finishing the same race. Kreuziger and TJVG should do well. Hard to pick a winner.

 

[whittashau]

I think Ulissi will do well too.

 

[TANK91]

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

Dekker?
10char

 

[TANK91]

Why does Ryo always come back and get banned?, what is e banned for now lol? and jens i lol'd at that.

He iss usually spreading the truth about the cababilities of riders and other forum members. I personally think it is hilarious, but not all mods apparently

I do find him mighty hilarious at times, but that doesn't allow one to break the rules

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Dekker?

yep, worlds biggest GC talent at the time.

there should be some clause in the cn forum rules that said "if a post makes 75% of the forum members laugh, it is ok to post it".

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

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

Meyer will pop out the back if a decent pace is set. The Australian press still talk him up a lot as a good climber. They still don't get it tbh.

 

[webvan]

So no Nussenpasz? Too bad, that last climb's generally been disappointing...

This climb isn't that hard, even Tony Martin has won this MTF (and Cancellara was 5th that year). So Meyer won't lose much time imo.

Seems like Spilak weather again today

Like I said, a decent pace will shoot him out the back.

uhuh, 17 km at 6.7%. Easy.

[manafana]

lets get down to business, spilak, ulissi, pinot, martin names standing out for me.

im not sure about rui costa for today

 

[niidirull]

I doubt Spilak is in great form , he finished even behind Andy Schleck in the ITT.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Different route to the top that year. I think there are at least 10 possibilities.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

Today's for Spilak/Ulissi.

Riders like Hesjedal, Pinot, Dombrowski... are going to suffer the cold.

Spilak is very lucky this season... extreme conditions in GP Miguel Indurain, Pais Vasco, Romandie...

Its getting annoying the eternal rain and low temperatures.
