2016 Tour de Suisse, 11-19 June

[RedheadDane]

What... the hell? Did they get a flat on all wheels?

 

[CheckMyPecs]

Nothing interesting yet (apart from that IAM bus fail )

 

[RedheadDane]

Not that big a fail!
I don't see any finish-line...

Sagan in a chasing group about 50 seconds behind the 23-man breakaway.

 

[PremierAndrew]

anyone got a stream?

 

[webvan]

Doubt Swiss TV will be producing any pictures before the planned 3.50pm start. During Romandie the guy explained that it was very costly to broadcast cycling...

Where do you get your live updates - do we have the names?

Re: Re:

Tomorrow stage for super altitude man!

He is in great form coming out of the Giro

Has always perform very well at altitude.

Will be very interesting to see how he goes over the next four days. Certainly this parcours suits him well and he rode a very good prologue. A shame he lost 14 seconds to his main rivals on Stage 3 but he still has a great chance in the GC (given the main contenders aren't really pure climbers).

Edit: Sorry, just saw the Giro reference and realised you were not talking about Miguel Angel Lopez.

I am also rooting for Superman Lopez, but his form this year has been questionable.

On cyclingnews live commentary, there is a pix showing (in the forward direction) the climb to the Grimselpass which the commentator confuses with Furka!
But There is no way to let him (her?) know.

If you have a Twitter account you can send him a tweet on @paddyfletch.

Thanks man.

Very interesting breakaway composition. Surely they can't be allowed too much time.

You're welcome.

Here's hoping Joe D can do something nice today.

 

[Jspear]

I'd like to see Dombrowski stay away for the win.

CN live ticker is wrong. Last milage check they gave they said there is 20 Km left in the race.

Brace yourselves, rain is coming.

Re:

this was one of the best sprint-stage finishes I've seen in years. I have no idea why people are complaining. seriously, on the dutch forum I frequent, everyone was ecstatic and rightfully so

You really lack attention, aren't you ?

Re:

You don't think they've just been going really fast?

In another thread you said he was trolling. Believe me he isn't! And that only makes it worse

 

[Krokro]

Sorry about the overreaction, I think I will just try to ignore his posts. I don't get this guy.
Anyway, back to the race !

 

[rick james]

No UK coverage...Crap

 

[CheckMyPecs]

Van Garderen could do well today if in good shape.

Any of these guys could then win the TdF!

The final mountain climb looks long but not overly scary.
