I think Dan Martin and Rui Costa could be outsiders for the victory... but my money is on Spilak/Ulissi as i said.

If none of them get the victory i'll be really surprised.

Weather predicitions for La Punt?
Any risks of suspenssion of the Albulla climb?

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

Yeah you might be right. But if you look at his prologue in Romandie, you wouldn't expect him to finish 2nd in GC either I guess.

If it comes to a smaller group sprint on top I'd say Mollema or Pinot.

If else, Costa or Spilak

Don't underestimate Dan Martin, LLS, Ulissi and Van Garderen.

TGBM to be 2nd behind Martin, or 3rd behind Martin, or 45th behind Martin.

No chance of winning for TGBM if Dan Martin is in the race though

LLS? He'll be dropped before they even arrive at the final ramp.

Mollema and Pinot can handle crap weather, maybe that's what Dekker_T means. Otherwise Dan Martin is the hands down favourite.

Depends. It's hard to tell if Martin's still got the form he had earlier in the season. He lost quite a bit of time at the tour of Belgium before withdrawing if I recall. Would love him to do it but we'll have to wait and see.

speaking of cold

And speaking of Ryder and Dan Martin,

Ryder is ok in the cold but didn't he perhaps lose too much weight (good for cold weather) and He may have had His fill with the cold... for a while.

I wonder if Ryder gained back some of the normal weight He lost before the Giro, to aid with France.

Anyway look for Ryder to help Martin like He did at Catalunya.

Live streams should start at 16.20 CET. Swiss TV showing French Open finale right now, don't know if its length might push cycling to a later broadcast.

In the meantime: http://www.tourdesuisse.ch/live/en/
it's in German, so use a translator.

Nufenenpass has been cancelled, the new start was in Ulrichen, at ca. 41k of the original stage. They have done around 35k of the altered stage so far. A group of four, Enrique Saez (SPA/MOV), Christophe Riblon (FRA/ALM), Adrian SAaez (SPA/EUS) und Johannes Fröhlinger (GER/ARG), have 1:45 on the peloton.

Swiss tv apparently cares more about the French Open today, and I don't know what AlJazeera is doing. Streams probably only start in about half an hour.
