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

[jens_attacks]

and ofcourse no credit to Mollema for basically opening the real attack on GC and doing most of the initial work until Costa took over
Thought you liked attackers

yes but mollema wasn't something unexpected

andy and dombrowski they were.

[TourOfTexas]

Impressive win by Costa. Lead out Van Garderen for 10 km?

TJ, the worst sprinter in the peloton.

 

[ThirdWorld]

wtf lol

Never ever seen this

What?! I could not see the stage....

 

[joaopinheiro]

Pls guys who make the coments live RUI COSTA is PORTUGUESES NOT SPANISH!

 

[Parrulo]

Well this makes it well worth to have been up for the last 30 something hours

 

[Afrank]

What?! I could not see the stage....

An inflatable banner was blown down across one of the corners of the descent. People had to lift it up and riders went under it.

 

[Ramira]

What?! I could not see the stage....

An inflatable arch got deflated and fell in front of the leaders so they had to stop and have it lifted up for them to go under it....

 

[RochePT]

Rui Costa is PORTUGUESE, you see PORTUGUESE, not spanish, isn't the first time this happens, we're not spanish! I hope you don't repeat the error coz is not the first time! And we are proud of Rui Costa!

Greetings from Portugal!

Who are you talking to? I'm sure 99% of the CN forumists knows that Costa is Portugese. And btw.: Welcome aboard

Thanks.
On live ticket they say, "Win for spaniard".
And we don't like it.

It's good to know that some people know that

Yes, Rui Costa is a Portuguese football player.

He is talking about whoever the CN reporter doing the CN site reports is, who has called Costa a "spaniard" pretty much every day on the reports and always gets corrected on the comment section.

 

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

Stupid me, I thought he was from Estonia.

Peraud lost a lot of time there. Baby Schleck almost ready for the Tour. Mollema cant descent, Matthias Frank can. Kreuziger cant perform above 2000 metres. Interesting stage.

 

[trevim]

Well this makes it well worth to have been up for the last 30 something hours

Just go to sleep. Or go out for a ride to celebrate

Yes, Rui Costa is a Portuguese football player.

Sadly he was. He would have been better than Pablo Aimar this year but oh well that's another issue.

Well its the truth, she should be paying more attention to this kind of stuff. Honestly i also find it a bit offensive that they still don't get the nationality of one of the best riders in the world right now right.

Sleep is for the weak.

Even the ITT is very hard and could change everything, I would bet for the GC the same as the stage today, I mean:

Rui Costa
Mollema
TVG
Pinot

Kreuziger is supposed to be strong in an ITT like this, but, it is difficult to rely on him.

Andy ok today, but just ok.

'one of the best riders in the world'. Don't you think that's pushing it?
