2013 Tour de Suisse, Stage 7: Meilen - La Punt 206 Km

[jens_attacks]

looks like we have a breakaway

 

[Ferminal]

Easy win for Klöden. It will be like Andy's epic breakaway two years ago, except this time no De Gendt.

 

[wirral]

I think we may have our break.

No Andy he he.

 

[Lexman]

Anyone know the estimated finish times?

18.00 - 18.30 pm

 

[Dazed and Confused]

I think we may have our break.

No Andy he he.

Sanchez +6:29 in GC.

Close enough......

 

[SafeBet]

Sanchez +6:29 in GC.

Close enough......

List of riders in the break please!

 

[richard_91]

Glad Andy isn't in the break, would rather see what he can do when GC guys hit the climb and start attacking that will give much better indication than how long can he last in the break

 

[BigC24]

The break won't get very far out with Sanchez in there. Rest of them are probably trying to get him to drop.

[Netserk]

So Saxo, Movistar and Blanco in the break. BMC will have to do most of the pulling themselves it seems.

If FDJ have anyone to help, they should do their fair share too.

 

[LaFleur]

Astana will help out too, presumably

 

[ToreBear]

Is it true that the video feed starts at 16:10 today and not 17:10 as previous days?

 

[ToreBear]

The break won't get very far out with Sanchez in there. Rest of them are probably trying to get him to drop.

That would mean Blanco would have to work on the front. If they want to get rid of lulu, they will have to drop him, and I don't see that happening.

 

[Rajna31]

Is it true that the video feed starts at 16:10 today and not 17:10 as previous days?

I haven't seen any indication that it would, but many stream sites show the times in GMT, which is one hour earlier than CET.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Ulissi DNF.

 

[ToreBear]

I haven't seen any indication that it would, but many stream sites show the times in GMT, which is one hour earlier than CET.

Hmm, yeah it could be, I guess we will have to wait and see.

Yeah 17.10 CET -> http://www.tourdesuisse.ch/fileadmi...arschtabelle_7.__Etappe_Meilen_-_La_Punt1.pdf - @49km to go if they have an average speed of 37 kph

Strong people there, the most for this stage IMO, Caruso.
Kloden is a very interesting rider there for Andy.
I prefer this way that Andy in the breakaway. He must attack in the botton of Albula passm before the GC contenders, and try to join Kloden quickly.
He was the last time in a solo breakaway in this mountain, a very hard stage that Gesink won, with Uran second and Lance third

 

[Lil_Tommy_V]

Any live streams out there yet?

I dont think so

 

[BigMac]

Are we already in the first cat climb?

 

[Rajna31]

Are we already in the first cat climb?

Yep, already on the second half of it.

 

[BigMac]

Yep, already on the second half of it.

Thanks. First half of the race went quite fast it seems.
