Re: Re:

Saxo chasing. Perhaps too late.

Küng has 2.20 minutes on the peloton, 13km to go.

No way will the peloton catch him, and he's holding the 3 chasers. Unless he punctures he has it.

Wouldn't be so sure. They are taking time relatively fast.

 

[Netserk]

But from now on it's mostly downhill. He's got it.

Okay, that has dropped quick

 

[SafeBet]

He's got about 15 seconds on the chasers and 1'30" on the peloton with 10 km to go. Monster rouler but not sure he will make it.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Why is Tinkoff working for Albasini

Gap dropping fast

Goooo Kung!

Depends if anyone helps Saxo chase.

Headwind won't help Küng to win the stage

 

[BigMac]

It seems to have stabilized a bit.

Quality stream for late arrivers:

[Sasquatch]

He's got it. They haven't taken any time in the last 2km.

 

[SafeBet]

Bakelants and Lindeman working together but they're gaining nothing. Go Kung!

 

[Sasquatch]

Movistar helping the chase

 

[SafeBet]

Panzerwagen and Alaphilippe attack.

 

[BigMac]

It's Küng's for the taking. This Ettix 1-2 attack with Tony Martin is getting old.

 

[harryh]

Nice win by Küng. He's a very strong youngster, will dominate time trials and classics in the future.

 

[SafeBet]

Kochetkov has not been caught yet, right? Could take the jersey.

 

[Sasquatch]

Now we can get to a proper stage.

great win

 

[BigMac]

Amazing Küng, that's three for Switzerland. Let's see what Mathias Frank can do for them tomorrow.

Re:

Apparently he crashed, so I assume he didn't finish before the peloton.

Very impressive by Küng again, going to dominate TTs in the future.

Thinking a French victory tomorrow with Rolland

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Küng of the mountains?

 

[BigMac]

Rain and drizzle tomorrow in most of Valais, Champex-Lac should be especially bad.

13º max.

"I like the rain, I like the cold," Küng said after the race. "I also said to the mechanic this morning put on a 54 chainring."

Excellent.

 

[SkyTears]

so tomorrow is the day...

Astana have 4 dudes in striking range, that's their chance to create some chaos

 

[SkyTears]

Kennaugh DNF
Stannard, Pate, Rowe, Viviani are no climbers

Froome will have only Roche and an out of form Thomas, so there will be no Sky train
