2013 Tour de Suisse, Stage 4: Innertkirchen - Buochs 161 Km

[Pulpstar]

I do wonder if his dropping 11 minutes on stage 2 was entirely tactical so if the situation arises he can go in the breaks and GC teams won't be helping the chase for HIM specifically ?

well, sure he did. As he was trying to be part of many breaks since the start of the stage. And apart from that, yesterday, he was fully rested on that climb, and the climbers were tired from the previous day. That helped too to even the strengths a little bit.

sagan sagan sagan...

1,2,3... he'll win, start again and win and then start again and win, before anyone else has finished once

 

[manafana]

going take something bit special to unsurp the terminator here.

Wonder how strong a break we get.

Look for it on steephill (http://www.steephill.tv/tour-de-suisse/#tv-schedule) or on sportlemon (http://www.sportcategory.com/c-9.html), but it won't start until 17:10.

why do you think so? Obviously he is in good shape, but he is still no pure sprinter, there are a couple of guys in here which are just faster than him.

If they have the form remains to be seen, but I'd rate Kristoff and Demare higher than Sagan for today's stage

 

[xrayvision]

Voigt, Kaisen and Vrecer lead by 4 minutes after 20 km of racing.

 

[ValleyFlowers]

After 33km the 3man break has a 4:15 advantage.

 

[ValleyFlowers]

Roads look dry and weather is mild with slightly threatning clouds.
Forecast for Buochs, Switzerland mentions a 50% chance of rain.

 

[ValleyFlowers]

At 46km the 3 leaders have a lead of 4:08 and swing away from the lake and are headed to the start of the first Cat2 climb.

Having watched this on Eurosport for the last few years, anyone know why Eurosport have chosen not to show it in UK this year?

IMG Media is selling the broadcasting rights for international coverage as far as I know, propably they asked for too much money and Eurosport declined

 

[Pulpstar]

Annoying also that Al JAzeera Sport +3 or w/e it is isn't on my Sky+, would have been nice to watch it all on Monday after my long weekend @ Download.

Their commentators are quite good too.

 

[manafana]

Shame for the sponsors of the teams. Fewer viewers means less exposure.

Matt Keenan?

Sometimes he has Magnus Backstedt. Backstedt seems to be going off the boil, way too many "errms, arrs and pauses". He must be overdoing the triathlons and might be way too tired to provide analysis.

That's what many days of sitting next to Kirby does to you

I laughed when Backstedt said yesterday "Yeah its just race after race for these riders, i remember it myself, you never know what day it is and then you go to the supermarket on a Sunday and its closed and then all you can do is go to a nice restaurant"

I havent been to a "nice restaurant" in six months.
