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

[Parrulo]

Obviously some guys defending pathetic top 10 positions instead of letting Martin cook himself and then finishing him off

 

[roundabout]

wyss looks a bit too enthusiastic

 

[trevim]

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

I wouldn't be so sure, Frank looked the strongest on this climb. He may take a minute on the last one considering how hard the stage has been. And Costa wasn't particularly brilliant yesterday anyway.
Mollema is harder to assess, he always looks bad

The way Martin is cooked, they're doing what they should, they'll drop him anyway on the finish climb

Martin giving up

He only has 9 seconds on Frank who has 2 teammates with him. Plenty of opportunity for the others to put Costa in trouble imo.

 

[trevim]

Rui Costa is just such a ridiculously negative opportunist lol.

Next time he'll miss a big move like this so everyone likes him.

 

[The Blues]

Looks like they are going incredibly fast right now.

 

[infeXio]

Schleck dropped?

 

[GuyIncognito]

Frank is looking very good for the GC. What are the time bonuses?

 

[Eclipse]

Did Andy get dropped again or was he just showing off his ninja impression?

 

[Parrulo]

Ya, pretty stupid thing to say

 

[jens_attacks]

tony, take it easy and safe. the race is lost

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Great Racing

 

[glassmoon]

Finish climb is long, Martin will capitulate... I expect an attack from Kreuz. Will see how far the 1st group will be at the bottom of saas-fee.

 

[ILovecycling]

Kreuziger and Martin done

 

[Parrulo]

Will Tony try to go into Panzer mode on the downhill and Flat?

What are you smoking? The group lost 90 seconds in 10 minutes. No one is working for Tony whilst Costa has 10 guys from other teams serving up his GC win, and you post that?!?

Next time he initiates a big move like this...oh wait..

 

[indianfanboy]

Martin on the front now

 

[GuyIncognito]

They're coming up to an intermediate sprint. Are there bonuses there?

 

[The Blues]

Frank deserves to take this one, so I am hoping that he can drop Costa on the final climb and take the 9 seconds he needs to get the overall win.

 

[GuyIncognito]

From what I can gather, 3-2-1 secs in the sprint coming up, then 10-6-4 at the finish.
Looking very very good for Frank

 

[trevim]

Next time he initiates a big move like this...oh wait..

He was on the podium, has a worse team and has won this twice already. Why would he bother more than the other guys?
I'm not sure if you noticed but he's ahead of Mollema and Frank (for now at least ) with Dumoulin and Martin out of the picture.

None at the finish line anyway.
