2013 Tour de Suisse, Stage 9: Bad Ragaz - Flumserberg 26.8 Km

Weird how Sagan can do a FTP effort uphill but not a long flat TT?

I guess that's enough to win the Vuelta though.

That's not weird, it's because his ITT position is horrible. His FTP is obviously incredibly high but he's not aerodynamic enough to do well in long TTs.

split times everywhere

Yeh, just weird that he doesn't work on his position. Obviously he doesn't care for ITTs, but then decides to go 100% today.

Amador is gonna better Izaguirre

[Rajna31]

It seems that TvG didn't manage to put too much time to anyone, so I doubt he has a chance to reach the GC podium.

 

[Cyivel]

Amador on fire

 

[wirral]

Van Garderen's car pulling level. They better watch that.
