85th Tour de Suisse (2.UWT) // June 12th - 19th 2022

[Samamba]

Do they all have the rona cause wth was this? All scared.

DSM seems to be getting some important wins now. Making sure they won't relegate.

 

[MrTea1976]

Denz rode it better than Masnada. Maybe you don't like his style, but he won.

 

[dazaau]

That's the problem with two big mountain stages close together. GC guys prefer to save it for a one shot game. Yawn. Would have been good if Simmons won it, adrenaline got him and he went too early

 

[Devil's Elbow]

GC top-10 wouldn't be out of place in something like Guangxi. The majority are non-climbers or out-of-form riders...

 

[saganftw]

they will cancel tommorows finish to give Kung chance to win it overall in TT

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Denz rode it better than Masnada. Maybe you don't like his style, but he won.

Wrong

 

[kingjr]

Masnada outclimbed by Nico Denz, future GT material for sure

 

[Escarabajo]

Bad stage for the type of profile we had. I take it this is just preparation for the Tour. However Higuita had a lot of power at the end. So the question is why didn't he attack before because he is bad at TT?

 

[RedheadDane]

Wrong

Yes he did. He won.
You also clearly don't like his style.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Masnada managed to do all the work, then let those he dropped come back, and despite the guy getting on his nerves and letting others come back, still continued to do all the work.

Genius.

Save for tomorrow, like everyone else.

 

[Sciatic]

Wow, watching the reply it was tight curve to right ((the side Denz was on) the made the difference

Tomorrow we still have an even steeper mtf.

 

[dazaau]

I reckon G will win this.

 

[Escarabajo]

I reckon G will win this.

He's got the best domestique of the race. All he has to do is hold his wheel and then do a good TT.

 

[HelloDolly]

pathetic stage, pathetic winner

what utter ***

we have to listen to the endless crap on here ..remco , remco. remco , remco , remco. remco
Masnada , masnada, masnada, masnada, masnada

well a rouler won on a a very hard climb and deserves all the plaudits for doing so
give me a break from the endless hyped riders

 

[Velolover2]

It's officially confirmed. Küng is a better than Remco.

Agree . Nothing wrong with how he raced it, played it well and rode strong. Won straight up. It's not a mountain TT.

GC battle was yawn though

 

[Ricco']

Why didn't Pinot stayed with Kung?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

He's got the best domestique of the race. All he has to do is hold his wheel and then do a good TT.

I doubt the race will make it to the TT. Quite possible they call the whole thing off tomorrow morning anyway, which makes today's passivity all the more baffling.

 

[T-Nielsen]

Why didn't Pinot stayed with Kung?

His brain.

 

[roundabout]

20 riders with 50 seconds in the GC group.

Montevergine di Moosalpiano

[Rackham]

I love the awkward pre race interviews with riders like Fuglsang & Thomas, i.e. "yeah it's terrible all these dropouts etc. this is not how we want to race etc.".

Meanwhile:

Rnk	Prev	▼▲	Rider	Team	UCI		Time
1	2	▲1	FUGLSANG Jakob	Israel - Premier Tech	10	4″	27:30:30
2	3	▲1	THOMAS Geraint	INEOS Grenadiers		3″	0:01
3	6	▲3	HIGUITA Sergio	BORA - hansgrohe			0:10
4	7	▲3	POWLESS Neilson	EF Education-EasyPost		6″	0:26
5	8	▲3	GROßSCHARTNER Felix	BORA - hansgrohe			0:34
6	10	▲4	LEKNESSUND Andreas	Team DSM		16″	0:46
7	5	▼2	KÜNG Stefan	Groupama - FDJ			0:49
8	4	▼4	KRON Andreas	Lotto Soudal		5″	1:00
9	14	▲5	POZZOVIVO Domenico	Intermarché - Wanty - Gobert Matériaux			1:07
10	9	▼1	REICHENBACH Sébastien	Groupama - FDJ			1:29

I think these guys will be more afraid of post-stage activities than the actual racing. All Thomas has to do is avoid a positive test & he'll probably win.

 

[F_Cance]

it's super easy. If Masnada can't drop non-climber Denz, he does not deserve to win
