75th Tour de Romandie (2.UWT) // 27th of April - 2nd of May 2021

[WKA311]

Filthy weather. I'm going with Izagirre, but I'm not sure which one.

Gorka crashed earlier, so Ion more likely to do something. Don't think he can hold onto Thomas and Porte though.

 

[BlueRoads]

Rain and snow? I am eagerly awaiting the live pictures...
And I really hope the riders don't catch a cold, with so many on my cq-team.

 

[Samamba]

So when is the live broadcast gonna start with the changed schedule?

In two minutes

 

[search]

coverage starts in 3 minutes on Swiss TV. Eurosport in half an hour (at least over here)

 

[fantomas]

Eurosport stream will be on in seconds, flow tv half an hour later, at least in Denmark.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Richie should win this one, his main competitor being his own teammate.

 

[roundabout]

looks dry right now

edit: ok, maybe not, but better than I was expecting

 

[johnymax]

I think Sepp Kuss today.

 

[BlueRoads]

I think Sepp Kuss today.

It will be interesting, I think it's still not clear how good he is when let loose, but I don't think he'll win.

 

[fantomas]

Froomey gone. Weird kind of progress.

 

[Savant12]

Froomey gone. Weird kind of progress.

Oh, how I miss yo-yo Froome.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Froomey gone. Weird kind of progress.

It's called the "Downward Dawg".

 

[SafeBet]

I don't get what the Swiss team is doing. Can anybody help me?

It's one of life's great mysteries.

They just realized they're gonna lose the polka dot jersey to Kobe Goosens. I guess they're stupid enough to think they're gonna close down a 5 min gap in 5k of climbing...

probably some kind of KoM defense, but I am also not sure

Isn't it a bit too late for that? This evening's Chris Horner Knucklehead bashing may be entertaining.

Apparently there's snow falling on Thyon 2000.

 

[RedheadDane]

Something I've been wondering - that the commentators also mentioned - is how many are gonna finish. Because I could easily imagine a bunch of the riders who are far behind in the GC saying "*** this!" and getting into the busses without doing the climb, if they won't have a chance tomorrow anyway.

Yeah it is incredibly late for that. I guess Albasini is on drugs.

They should just tell Pellaud to attack and hope not Goosens but someone else follows cause Goosens needs a 2nd place on this KoM.

 

[ciranda]

Still waiting for Hänninen, basically still not as good as he was in the under 23 world's three years ago. Magnus Cort is pretty much untireable when he's in a break no matter how difficult the course is. I think he will last longest.

 

[Red Rick]

Lmao they're gonna neutralize the descent.

 

[RedheadDane]

Lmao they're gonna neutralize the descent.

Are we sure it's the entire descent, or just down to the point where they can actually see?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

No bottle for popular Soler.

First 3k only!
