2019 Tour de Suisse

[Broccolidwarf]

The Kraghen telling danish TV, that he is unhappy with his TT.

Apparently his pacing system did not work, and he thinks he started out too fast, and lost too much on the home stretch.

Game on
Konrad, Dennis ... Bernal
off the ramp

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Wow, watching Dennis like this is so cool - right on the edge, all the time.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Good thing Pozzovivo got those extra 4 seconds on the line yesterday

 

[JosephK]

Bernal only losing about 19 seconds to Dennis at the intermediate check.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Bernal defending well.

He will probably be inside 10 seconds of Dennis overall, ahead of tomorrow.

 

[IndianCyclist]

going to be close for GC. pozzo's 4 sec will be in play

 

[luckyboy]

Great ride from Bernal so far.

Have the racing conditions changed since Lampaert, Asgreen and the rest completed their trials?
Nobody not even close to them now.
Doesn't look so, though.
Maybe just freshness.

Wind maybe picked up a bit. But really, only Dennis should be able to beat those guys, so it's hard to know.

 

[luckyboy]

Guess because they've been taking it a lot easier in the mountains than Dennis.

 

[Simurgh]

uhhh Bernal close to crashing

 

[Simurgh]

Lampaert takes the stage - disappointing ride by Dennis

 

[RedheadDane]

Bernal, for ***'s sake! Ineos have enough wounded riders as it is!

 

[sir fly]

That was smashing time trial from Lampaert.
Looks good for nationals.

 

[Simurgh]

Bernal 11th

Not even close. Dennis paid for yesterday's effort, and Bernal remains comfortably in yellow.

 

[KZD]

What a time by Bernal, excedeed even my expectations but he needs to be more careful he had time to spare and this is just the Tour of Switzerland

 

[luckyboy]

Wow Bernal!

He pays the price for having a godawful TT-bike mostly. Last years Giro, Dennis went for a GC as well, and then comfortably beat the likes of Dumoulin, Froome, Van Emdem and Martin in stage 16.

 

[JosephK]

Final stage will be a borefest, I fear.

 

[Pharazon]

Final stage will be a borefest, I fear.

best climber is in the lead so... yeah, more than likely

 

[Simurgh]

Feels great to see Betancur's name on a top-10 GC standing!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Stage

GC
