2013 Tour de Suisse, Stage 3: Montreux - Meiringen 204.9 km

[Ferminal]

Nice move. Kelderman only 53 seconds down and Bouet 58. I guess this is up to Astana and Movistar to chase although FDJ and GreenEdge will probably help too even with a man ahead.

Yes there is. These guys are in the break, except for Cancellara.

Roulston (RLT), Boonen (OPQ), Terpstra (OPQ), Vansummeren (GRS), Gilbert (BMC), Bouet (ALM), Montaguti (ALM), Kelderman (BLA), Breschel (TST), M�rk�v (TST), Albasini (OGE), Azanza (EUS), Roy (FDJ), Dumoulin (ARG), Elmiger (IAM), Delaplace (SOJ), Pauriol (SOJ)

have 3 minutes.

And Mørkøv...he just can´t help him self

 

[Pulpstar]

I assume Alabsini will just sit in and allow himself to be towed ?
Where exactly is he in GC ?

yeah, meanwhile a break has formed. I doubt they'll make it though

don't think greenedge will, with albasini you pretty much got a guaranteed win lol besides they've him in front so i doubt other teams will even ask their help

4 minutes 12 seconds behind

 

[Pulpstar]

Great break for AG2R and especially, Belkin.

"von 3:10 Minuten auf das von Astana und Movistar angeführte Feld auf. "

Astana and Movistar driving the peloton.

I like the tactic of throwing potential stage-winner Alabsini up the road by ORICA - very nice way to save some legs for their team.

 

[webvan]

TV coverage to start in 20 minutes ? Shouldn't be too exciting before 5.30 though with the foot of the climb(s)...

 

[roundabout]

In 55 minutes in Suisse.

 

[l.Harm]

Why do they finish so late?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

you couldn't put a better break together on paper.

 

[manafana]

live from 4.20pm isn't it?

 

[Gloin22]

Why do they finish so late?

There's people in world that have to work till usually 4, 5 oclock you know

I think it's clear why the finish late. And good.

 

[webvan]

live from 4.20pm isn't it?

That's what it said on Steephill but Roundabout is correct, LIVE on Swiss TV Channel 2 starting at 5.10PM...

Hesjedal out after a crash

That sucks

 

[SafeBet]

Such an unlucky period for Ryder

 

[webvan]

oh no...a crash on the flat at full gas? That could have done some damage...

 

[Dazed and Confused]

oh no...a crash on the flat at full gas? That could have done some damage...

off to the hospital in Interlarken already. Is it game over tour-wise?

 

[SKSemtex]

Please, no.

 

[SafeBet]

Live coverage has started.

 

[Christian]

Sorry to hear this about Hesjedal, I wish him a speedy recovery!!

On a brighter note let's see what the birthday boy can do today!

 

[jens_attacks]

sad to hear about ryder and yesterday he was so brave...

2 minutes with 41 km to go

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Lot of bad luck for Ryder.

But at least people react normal to his bad luck unlike with some riders.
