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

[Waterloo Sunrise]

On a plate for Costa here. He should start buying lottery tickets in June the way this keeps happening.

 

[Eclipse]

Didn't realise IAM and Belkin had quite so much strength up the road to join with. A well timed move.

 

[jens_attacks]

sep beast as always

is this tour of norway?

 

[Arredondo]

Gap grows to 20 seconds. Martin got a problem

 

[sultanofhyd]

Vanmarcke singlehandedly pulled them to the break!

 

[trevim]

Valls in the Martin group, that nice to see.
Also Vanmarcke what a magnificent beast! I love the fact that he doesn't disappear after the classics until the next season

 

[ILovecycling]

what a great race by IAM,deserved tour spot

 

[l.Harm]

Clement's going to be gold.

 

[Parrulo]

If they force Martin to work solo vs the domestics up this climb and on the flat he will be completely cooked on the last climb. This is a very good tactic by Belkin and IAM.

Costa obviously has no one to help him as usual

 

[Eclipse]

Tony is done. Too much strength for his competitors in that lead group.

 

[trevim]

Come on, he has been lucky but he also has done something to deserve that luck.
And he's not looking particularly well anyway

 

[Arredondo]

Martin loses this TDS, already 1 min deficit.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Gotta love this - something happens!
Plus Andy still in the mix today!

His time trial put him in this position.

well done attackers.

Lampre has been above average this race with Cattaneo and Valls. But they were really dumb to miss such a large break.

 

[Pantani_lives]

A Spanish coalition! I wonder whether Martin will get support from other teams.

 

[Walkman]

Just tuned in, any streams available?

Well, he is leader at Lampre now, but Lampre has no team

Costa is going to win GC easily unless he fails personally, so I wouldn't be moaning about his team.

...
Team Sky?

Knees and a Cannondale

Tinkoff/Saxo should pull for RK

 

[mihhint]

Rui Costa is just such a ridiculously negative opportunist lol.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Wyss and Clement are bossing this. This group is flying right now.
