It's the tour of Switzerland and it's 6 stages before we hit a mountain of any size ! I can see why riders prefer to ride this race before the Tour instead of the Dauphine as it's so much easier. In the past some of the editions of TDS were very good like the year Leipheimer beat Cunego but the route this year is plain dull. Today's stage is a better one thankfully. It seems Lefevre was right about the finish yesterday even though the guy is a bit of a whiner.

Better designed flat-ish stage for sure.

Still too many teams with GC contender/pretender to protect, so it may be a small break again.

Modolo FTW.

This regarding the break. Too many people still at 2 min or less (around 50), so hard to get a "controlled" break not posing any danger. I see teams like cannondale or garmin working to keep it together and get rid of the fast men.
Sagan or Slagter to win.

Surely there are some teams with an interest in bringing the escapees back,quite a few teams with nothing to show for their efforts so far,would like to think they will work in last 50k to bring it back for a reduced group sprint.
