2013 Tour de Suisse Stage 8: Zernez - Bad Ragaz, 181 km

[BigMac]

Profile.

Setup for sprint finish or even a break.

This is it Sagan.

 

[webbie146]

Hmm u guys think Kristoff can make it over that last climb/hill?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

After a tough stage 7 (and consider the TT on Sunday), the GC boys would like a have another rest day. So some of these guys:

18 Jean-Christophe PERAUD FRA ALM +4:47
19 Andrey AMADOR BAKKAZAKOVA CRC MOV +5:59
20 Maxime BOUET FRA ALM +5:59
21 Lars Petter NORDHAUG NOR BLA +7:42
22 Maxime MONFORT BEL RLT +8:05
23 Amaël MOINARD FRA BMC +9:57
24 Michele SCARPONI ITA LAM +10:30
25 Brice FEILLU FRA SOJ +11:05
26 Mikael CHEREL FRA ALM +11:09
27 Francis DE GREEF BEL LTB +12:00
28 Vladimir GUSEV RUS KAT +12:07
29 Moreno MOSER ITA CAN +12:54
30 Eduard VORGANOV RUS KAT +14:11

should try and go in an break on the Cat 1 climb. Gotta be a big powerful break to make it work.

Otherwise Demare FTW.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

 

[Afrank]

Gonna go with Sagan again. He could do it in a sprint or a breakaway on that cat 3. Plus I would really like to see him show a good flat land sprint level before the Tour.

Andy to go in the break, he might as well. What does he have to lose?

 

[Pippo_San]

That profile shouts Sagan in every known language.

Hmm u guys think Kristoff can make it over that last climb/hill?

yes he can. He made it over some similar climbs in the stage that he won I think.

 

[Marco Pantani]

Late attack by Andy.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

yes he can. He made it over some similar climbs in the stage that he won I think.

It's 2km at 9,9%, with 12% ramp. This will be tough even for Sagan.

Would be nice if Phil Gilbert tested his legs on that climb. Could cause a bit of panic even among the GC contenders.

 

[wangpanpan]

Yes indeed it would be nice , but i think BMC will try to protect Frank/TVG.

Fat Phil will try, and then get dropped by Andy Schleck.

 

[SKSemtex]

Hoping for rain and duo Sagan/Kreuziger attacking stage/GC win . I am gonna be really ****ed off if Cannondale take another day off and breakaway group takes this one again.

 

[maltiv]

Nordhaug to attack and almost stay away, only to be caught by Moser/Sagan in the last kilometre just like on a similar stage last year.

 

[stijndefieuw]

Something for Démare ?

 

[Euskaltel!]

Anyone notice that Sagan finished dead last yesterday, even behind the grupetto?

no, he didn't, Sagan finished 107th, Feillu finished last (152th), more than 10 minutes after Sagan

 

[Euskaltel!]

That'll teach me

 

[Taxus4a]

The last mountain pass today is quite hard, it could be a second class category. Yes, it looks a day for Sagan, that yesterday soft-pedaling, but it is a day as well for a breakaway, or even the leaders, who could drop Pinot in the descent. But they will be thinking in tomorrow maybe...

 

[manafana]

will cannondale chase today, limit who goes in break.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Early break suceeds. Group of 4, now 2 minutes ahead of peloton.

BOUET Maxime - AG2R La Mondiale
MORI Manuele - Lampre-Merida
VRECER Robert - Euskaltel - Euskadi
HOLLENSTEIN Reto - AM Cycling

 

[Panda Claws]

Now that's a break that will not make it

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Reto will own
