2016, 70th Tour de Romandie, April 26th - May 1st, WT

[TMP402]

I have no idea if tomorrows stage is really flat or actually pretty difficult, hard to judge from the profiles. Depending on which is the case either Kittel or Gerrans ftw.

Albasini, dude.

Ben Swift should have a chance too.

Re:

Another sign of Astana's new GC hope, Rosa's progress.

Yeah, let's see if he can deliver a good performance in the high mountains too

 

[May0maniac]

Cimolai should be in the mix tomorrow.

 

[DNP-Old]

Pasqualon used to be quick.

I like that

My favourite for the gc is Spilak, I even put some mone on him, 12/1 for a guy who's always on the Podium in this race is pretty good.

lol Kelderman crashed again. It's like he does it on purpose

I had the thought he is blind or something, but he had his eyed lasered a few years ago.

So either something has gone wrong with the laser option and he's blind as a bat. Or he's just REALLY bad at steering

Yeah, he is a good bet for 2nd.

Today's stage shortened to 109km due to snow on the first climb. Guess they start at the 60km mark on the profile.

Is it that cold in the whole Europe right now? I can't remember the last time it was such a long succession without a warm day at this point of the year in Poland and multiple of races across the Europe are struggling with bad weather.

 

[RedheadDane]

Southern Europe is probably pretty warm... but up here in the North it's pretty cold, White Walkers might be attacking at any time.

Yeah, one hour ago we had snowfall in Innsbruck, but at this time of the year a little bit of snow is nothing extraordinary in the alpes (I've witnessed snowstorms on the Brennerpass/Brennero durning June, July and August, things like that can always happen in the mountains).
The weather should improve, so tomorrow we shouldn't have any problems.

 

[Laplaz]

Albasini ftw!

it was a warm April until last week-end (Liege) and now the temperatures have fallen

What about tomorrows stage? Any weather predictions?

Like I said, the weather should be ok, sunny and cold, about 2°C in Morgins.

I wonder if this changes the potential stage winners.

Only that Kittel will be dropped one climb later.

Not if Etixx can control things.
