2014 Tour de Suisse :Stage 5, Ossingen → Büren an der Aare, 184 km

The final 250m seems to have a 5 % average grade,maybe that Slovak guy have something to say about this one.

God this year's route is boring

 

[Jspear]

Cav for the win. Yes, I agree things have been a little dull. I'm waiting for Sunday's stage. Hopefully it will give some excitement. Even Saturday isn't so great....long flat and just one climb.

 

[manafana]

degenkolb might be a bit knocked about so taking that Kristoff can get his tactics a bit better this time

 

[murali]

how tough is that final climb?

Cav ftw.
watchout: Sagan, Degenkolb

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Cavendish.

2 man break again?

 

[PirazziAttacksVino]

Cav ftw. He has the best train, with both OPQS and Giant boys there for him.

 

[ILovecycling]

Sagan ftw...

Good one

Yes, Cav should take the win. But Sagan is only 10 seconds behind Ton Martin and if there is another gap in the peloton he could take over the leaders jersey. That is probably the most interesting abot the whole stage.

if martin is going to loose the yellow before the "real" mountians, it will be tomorrow, not today. 10s peleton break in a sprint stage are quite rare, and the split is also probably not going to happen on two consecutive days

Maybe Degenkolb is actually going to lead out for him this time.

Just kidding, I think Giant now realizes that they should wait longer (about a km longer, actually).

Wiggins DNS.

Anyone who bet on Wiggins not finishing the race at 1.01 can now collect lol

yesterday it was only 4 second split but Sagan got bonus seconds ...

there are no bonus seconds since this year in TdS, but sagan was 14s down after stage 3

Shame on me. I had no chance of viewing any stage so far because of work and only red the results in the evening. Seems I wasn't paying too much attention.

Cav better pray no one beats him today. Yesterday in an interview he said none of his "rivals" were here at this race. I'm sure he wouldn't want to get beat this close to the tour by a non-rival.

He was not wrong. Degenkolb and Sagan are better on hilly stages but on a flat stage they are usually out of his league. That is a fact. But I agree, Cav can be awfully blunt at times.

I thought he was mainly trying to not insult Kittel and Greipel by implying that yesterday's win meant he was "The Man" again.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Perfect timing. Just tuned in, ready to watch Danny Van Poppel win.
