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

[wirral]

Scarponi coming in sixth or seventh (actually eighth) looking very easy.

Great win for Mollema.

Rui Costa worse then i was expecting to be honest

Did he do an altitude camp with Delahaye, that Costa?

Also V Garderen terrible.

 

[happytramp]

I know Martin went hoping for others to toe Ryder up a bit but might it not have worked better for Martin to save himself and go for the stage win? Good win for Mollema and good result for Ryder.

I doubt California is a good prep for Tour. Look at who won it last year.

 

[movingtarget]

Strong win by Mollema, I thought Tschopp was going to go on with it. Gutsy ride by Hesjedal. Frank better than TJVG.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Weird. First they showed Mollema at 15 seconds of Meyer.
Now suddenly 34.

It can't be right because Molema was 41 seconds behind. 41 seconds -27 = not 34 by my books...

Van Garderen= OVERRATED

Van Garderen= OVERRATED

COme on. He's not a Dutch tour hope, oh wait technically he is

 

[Telmisartan new]

Good win by Bauke,good to see Blanco back winning and not..er...cra..never mind.Do like Blanco despite all their bad luck.A day in the sun for Dekker Tifosi.

you can't comment on the dutch today as Mollema just won. Your argument is invalid

 

[Gloin22]

Good ride by Dombro. Pleased for Mollema.

the over rated TVG. He should let his leg do the talking and not his mouth.

 

[ILovecycling]

Wow,Mollema,chapeau to him!
Hesjedal did great,and Pinot is a favourite for this race imo.
It should be an interesting week

 

[Winnen]

Excellent by Mollema. Hope he also is able to ride a good GC in the tour. But he is dutch, so the odds are against him.

Just want to point that out, won't take long before they fail. You can rely on the dutch for that.

Btw DT you've any idea if Boogerd will commentate again for NOS? or is he already doing it again?

Excellent by Mollema. Hope he also is able to ride a good GC in the tour. But he is dutch, so the odds are against him.

I rather hope Mollema's GC goes to **** early and he can focus on stage wins. He has that last kilometre and a decent sprint. He just always utilizes it agains the wrong guys, either he's up with Valverde and Rodriguez (who have better last km's). Or he goes into a breakaway containing Hagen (who sprints faster).
Pick a break with Voeckler and he'd eat that frenchie in the sprint

I doubt California is a good prep for Tour. Look at who won it last year.

he won it basically with pretty much beating second rated opponents. Rogers's last race was TA, and he was terrible. Then no race at all for him.

 

[Gloin22]

Why? His TT is below average. And the course to me doesn't get much tougher than today.

Or just purely drops Mollema

 

[classicomano]

Holy **** after coming in 2nd and 3rd about 20 times in a row TGBM wins awesome! And fk yeah Coach Luicito

He's with dutch eurosport now. Will be doing the tour with @TourDeJose.

 

[SafeBet]

Hesjedal did great,and Pinot is a favourite for this race imo.

Isn't he bad going downhill? Maybe I remember wrong?

 

[theyoungest]

Altitude training by Delahaye finally paying off after 3 years.

It's actually the first time in his career that Mollema did proper altitude training. It seems to be paying off...

How is dejose as a commentator?
