2014 Tour de Suisse, Stage 7: Worb - Worb 24.7kmm

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Dumoulin rode a faster last part than Tony Martin

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Broken knee for Henao.

Season over?

more like career over

 

[classicomano]

How many TT's has Tom lost to Martin already? oh well at least hes still young.

 

[jens_attacks]

tony wins but no chance for gc

 

[Eclipse]

Never in doubt.

 

[indianfanboy]

Martin it is

Dumoulin was faster than Martin in the flats and the descent

 

[Cance > TheRest]

tony wins but no chance for gc

Definitely. He'll be smoked in the mountains with that kind of smallish lead.

 

[Escarabajo]

What hapenned to Henao?

 

[indianfanboy]

Costa will be a really happy man today !!

 

[Parrulo]

No chance for Martin on GC with such a small lead. Will be out of yellow tomorrow already.

Unless Frank improved his climbing by a lot compared to last year, Costa seems to have this in the bag

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

How many TT's has Tom lost to Martin already? oh well at least hes still young.

It was already something he won time in the final part. Nothing wrong with the engine. Just needs some more HP to push that 58x10 gear Tony is pushing

What hapenned to Henao?

Car with a crash in training.

Broken knee reported..

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

What hapenned to Henao?

hit by a car in the recon and broke his knee.

 

[mrhender]

kreuziger, just prepare for the tour i guess.
suisse over.

Initally his time today made me worry a bit about his form so close to the tour..

But funny thing..

Just had a look at last years TT final result. (was the last stage)

Kreuziger lost ecxactly one minute to Rui Costa on that occasion..( 27 km )
-Before the stage he was only 10 sec behind Costa so lots of reason to give it all..

And Keuziger also lost 44 seconds in the prologue last year.. (to the winner)

Kreuziger was excellent in last years tour so maybe no need to worry about this year..

2 Tom Dumoulin (Ned) Team Giant-Shimano 0:00:28
3 Rui Alberto Faria Da Costa (Por) Lampre-Merida 0:01:05

10 Thibaut Pinot (Fra) FDJ.fr 0:01:48

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Rui Costa, Frank, Tony Martin, and even Thibaut Pinot winners of the day (exceeded expectations).

Mollema below par, should be able to top 10 in such a field and with such a course
Kreuziger is on his normal level in ITT's.
Andy.. well i'm sure he tried, but 2'30 is a lot

 

[alspacka]

Wow Martin only gained 1 second on Costa on the flat part

It's because of the beyetar ayerodynaemics.

 

[shalgo]

It looks very good for Costa. Maybe Pinot has an outside chance of putting enough time into him over the weekend to take the GC?

 

[wirral]

Glad to see those fans penned behind a fence, probably some unruly idiots in there. Hinault would approve.

 

[Escarabajo]

hit by a car in the recon and broke his knee.

Thanks.


Talking about a change of luck for this guy. One after another one.

 

[wirral]

That podium girl with the brown hair definitely has something going on with Bjorn Thurau. Written all over her face.

 

[Potomac]

Lawson Craddock finished third at California this year, and he's sitting in seventh place in this race. I will be watching to what he does these next two stages.

Seems to be riding decently too.

 

[roosters76]

It's gonna be interesting what Cannondale is about to do with their GC chances.
My guess is they'll have Sagan pull for Formolo podium tomorrow. So weird to see two of them in top 10 GC.
