Said to be tougher than the Dauphiné, with a quality startlist. Only one Slovenian at the start. Vlasov, Martinez, Evenepoel, Yates (A.), Landa, Higuita, Pozzovivo, Lutsenko, Mäder, Woods, Kuss, Hirschi, Pinot.... But also the ITT will see tough competitors. Küng, Dennis, Asgreen and again Evenepoel are the main protagonists in a 25k race against the clock.

Only one Slovenian at the start.

Are you saying that from now on, we should specify how many Slovenians will be at the start of a race?

It's nine days until the race starts, the early posting of race threads is getting out of hand lately...

@Netserk I edited the map into the OP

What is the problem with people discussing things before the race? Route, startlist, contenders... You don't have to participate in the thread if you don't want to. It's 9 days. Not 9 weeks. And if you really can't help yourself to make a remark like this, maybe do it in another topic which is for a race 3 days later and far less interesting. But i guess it's a refreshing change for a first post, instead of ''thanks for the thread''.

The harm is?

 

[KenFiamingo]

Sick field, sick course.

Love it.

 

[roundabout]

seeing this thread on the main forum page made me

1. check what date today is

2. wonder if TdS was starting earlier than usual this year and I have missed that

The first stages look great for a Remco raid.

 

[Billie]

Route of stage 9 not yet known?

Make whatever you want of it.

With the TT at the end, the climbers are forced to drop guys like Remco hard and try to gain as much time on other climbers as well if they want to win. Guess doing this will keep the tension until the end. Slightly different with TT first where you know how much you need to gain..

 

[Red Rick]

Tour de Suisse profiles look kinda bad eh.

They're on La Flamme Rouge - route is great.

Only one Remco at the start.

How else are you going to generate the hype needed.

I'm sorry, is this a dig? lol - Because you just made the thread for Tour of Slovenia earlier today, which starts 3 days later. Or did someone hack your account?

Tour of Slovenia (obviously) has a much higher Slovene-count than this one!
But a lower Remco-count, so...

 

[Red Rick]

I for one don't hate when people make the effort to create a race thread.

I think you misunderstood, I am all for creating a treat sooner because of the hype, in a good way. Just like we already have threads for Giro and tour routes for next year.

Threads are indeed treats.
As long as nobody starts creating threats!

Fortunately, BR has stopped doing that.

 

[Aimar16]

Hopefully Sagan's form will return

 

[Pinot's goat]

Best route of all the one week stage races this year.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

We've seen plenty of national tours with a foreign start. Is this the first with a foreign conclusion?

 

[OlavEH]

I must say that I really looking forway to seeing Remco here. After the performances in LBL and Norway, this is probably the first time we could/should expect him to perform on the highest level in a big one week race in the high mountaint. This will be a real test ahead of the Vuelta later this year.
