2019 Tour de Suisse

[Velolover2]

They talked about he had a concussion.

 

[glassmoon]

hopefully no broken bones?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Seems everyone has given up the stage win for Sagan already?

 

[dacooley]

well, it's really weird. lady luck is preparing a genuine gift for someone by the end of july. -)

Re:

No Thomas, Froome, Roglic and Dumoulin.

Nibali's voodoo is getting out of hand.

Suppose it's the only way he could win a GT nowadays, without competition. :lol:

 

[Keram]

Viviani is there. I think Sagan climbed with reserve. Bora was not able to pull harder though.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

It could be the year of totally unexpected Grand Tour winners. One down, two to go. May have a couple of quid on Valverde at this rate.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Perfect lead out by DQ

 

[Poursuivant]

Great camera work

 

[Simurgh]

Viviani takes it, Sagan 2nd

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Great effort by Viviani, Sagan couldn't keep up at the end.

 

[jaylew]

Viviani takes it, Sagan 2nd

I thought Matthews passed Sagan

 

[TourOfSardinia]

After the Giro flop
Viviani is back

Re:

Yup, think so too, he came back fast, Matthews.

 

[sir fly]

Too long for Sagan. Too short for Bling.
Congrats to Viviani.
Nice sprint.

 

[Velolover2]

The steppers had their entire train present while Sagan was isolated and in a bad position.

Bora's mission of dropping Viviani backfired badly.

 

[JosephK]

Viviani rights the ship. Well done.

Re:

Quintana will never get a better chance of winning the Tour.

But it doesn't like he is in great shape.

Plus there's this Bernal guy.

I would be surprised if Thomas was out.

Didn't look like anything was broken, and there is still 17 days to the race start.

Love the DQ train: Best young rider, Belgian Champion, Danish Champion, Italian Champion. The only one missing was the Argentinian Champion.

 

[The Chicken]

LOL another woeful sprint from Sagan. Borderline embarrassing. And wtf was that bike throw about 100m from the line? LOL.

Lol, how is it embarrassing to lose a sprint to Viviani when he is perfectly lead out by his train? He tried to beat him, he would obviously have got second if he had played it safe...

 

[Screecher]

What's up with Kristoff? He was flying in Norway and then won the one day race before TdS and now he's nowhere.

Outclassed by competition.
