2014 Tour de Suisse: Stage 9: Martigny→Saas-Fee (156.7 Km)

[Vino attacks everyone]

Well this might be interesting
can't see andy winning but well done for
trying

be realistic Jens, ofc Andy will win, but it would be nice if someone else got a chance of winning races once in a while indeed

 

[cineteq]

Wait, Andy got himself back into the break again after already being in one failed venture?

Such heart and desire. True champion...

You made me cry...

 

[ILovecycling]

too big break to succeed imo

 

[senatorrick]

TV coverage doesn't start for a half an hour on Bein, dam I want to see Andy rip some legs off on the decent

Aquila had like 40 riders and it worked out just fine

I want to see who's on the front of the peloton / how many OPQ riders are left with the yellow jersey

i know,but that was laquila magic

I mean,most of these big breaks are not succesful cuz pace is not regular etc

The Steppers got four left working for Martin:

Steegmans
Cav
Trentin
Velits

The competition can get rid of all of them on the next climb if they have any balls.

Fair play to those four for still being there

I think Tinkoff, Lampre and Belkin will help Quickstep if it comes to that. Neither Zaugg or Vanmarcke have a big enough chance to win the stage that they can risk Morabito to take many minutes.

 

[senatorrick]

The cycling news live coverage ticker whatever you want to call it hasn't had an update in seven minutes I don't understand there's nothing to report even a kilometer report or time gap report they just say nothing for seven minutes

Trentin clearly has something to pay back after his stage win. Cavendish even more after all these years with quality lead outs from Martin. And they're team mates so it's their job really.

 

[manafana]

lets get this party started. Live in 5mins always enjoy watching more when I have punished myself with at least one climb in the morning.

They can bridge tho,I think they almost dont give a monkeys about stage win.They want overall

yep me too,with a headache 9km@6.1% is more than enough

Not doubting their motivation. More surprised that they got over the Cat 1 and Cat 2 or that some other teams haven't been able to get rid of them

 

[dduff442]

Boaro, Knees and Kuchynski have been dropped from the leading group immediately on the start of the 2nd last climb.

That's a good point, they could have dropped them with a harder pace on the first climbs. But I guess nobody wanted to burn those matches.

 

[sultanofhyd]

The only problem is Morabito is probably not as good as Talansky, but that's offset by the fact that Martin is no Contador either

 

[shades1]

just hope andy has not imploded before the live coverage , be good to see him have a go today ... its about time !!!!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Frank, Mollema and Costa attcks. Chapeau.
