Re:

This TT is a lot more exciting then the mountain stage in Sud!

TTs usually are more exciting because GC riders can't hold anything back.

Either Barguil pulls out a big, fat rabbit out of his hat tomorrow or the French drought looks set to continue.

Well Little Colombians are all flying these days...

*** ION IZAGIRRE.

Damn boy... Stoked.

 

[Flamin]

This turned out to be even less of a TT for specialists than I anticipated.

 

[Anderis]

I'm a little bummed that Talansky didn't take the overall lead despite doing well enough defend from Izagirre and to overcome the time deficit to Barguil.

 

[jaylew]

Nice TT today. What's that descent like tomorrow? Could possibly be decisive. In any case, today's result bodes well for action tomorrow.

Looks to me like the Movistar crew have been doing some serious TT'ing training

Not so little actually...lot of them are pretty stocky. When compared to, say, Barguil or Bardet, they are big men.

 

[saganftw]

Izagirre.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Miguel Angel Lopez, Izagirre, Talansky and Barguil all still pretty close in the GC

Tomorrow = epic

Also strong recovery by Kelderman

[johnymax]

What is the correct spelling. I'm confused now. Is it Izaguirre or Izagirre?

 

[swissfr]

Why there are so many tt in tour de suisse? that is why few of great climbers are present here...

Re:

izaguirre, although Talansky is not bad by any means. I have no idea about Superman's descending skills.

This is the most climbing biased Tour de Suisse, probably ever.

We just had 3 MTF's in a row. And the ITT is only 15km. You couldn't find a more climber orientated Tour than this years TdSuisse...

Wow, we agree.

 

[AlexNYC]

Lopez has always had a really good TT, so I'm not surprised at his level. Actually, I'd been a little disappointed at his performance this year. Tomorrow is going to be epic. Izaguirre and Movistar are going to be in attacking mode throughout the race.

 

[swissfr]

If you are a climber, you choose the dauphiné or tour de suisse?

 

[Ruudz0r]

Yeeeees Lopez!! Tomorrow could be very good, hopefully Lopez can take the final win!

Re:

if you want to win the race, TdSuisse.

However, most top riders chose Dauphine because the combination of altitude training camp > race > altitude camp is possible.

With TdSuisse its not. There is too little time between tdSuisse and Tour

 

[Breh]

Weather is better.

French riders riding a French race isn't weird either.
