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

almost 1 minute in front can't be correct though. He'd be about to pass Arndt already then, and that's not the case

There seem to be a lot of timing errors. On Procycling stats it had Antonio Nibali first at the finish for quite some time. Also, had Swirbul with fastest intermediate

That is one ugly paint job on Martinez’s bike, I think it made my brain vomit.

 

[StryderHells]

Ouch! Coming off like that hurts, at least he’s communicating with the people around him.

After watching the women's ITT, I felt like some of the men could crash where Van Wilder did, but I didn't expect it to happen like that.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

At least he was doing a good TT, would probably have come close to Van Baarle's time but not beaten it. Hope he's fine, so that he doesn't have to recover again and lose weeks or months once more. Then he can just take his form and built upon it.

 

[RedheadDane]

What happened?

(Was in France, watching the finish there. Not literally, though.)

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Matthews will buy the motor in front of him a few beers.

Küng cheating his way off the ramp.

 

[Winnen]

Great first part by Evenepoel.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

What happened?

(Was in France, watching the finish there. Not literally, though.)

Van Wilder was only 2s down on Van Baarle halfway, but in the final 2k he took the wrong way of a roundabout and crashed.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Motor also WAY too close in front of Küng.

What happened?

(Was in France, watching the finish there. Not literally, though.)

Took wrong side of roundabout and ended up over a chain fence beside the pavement. He's up now.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Thomas has been underrated on here his entire career, including when he won the Tour and especially the year he was 2nd. Even last year when he was at the front of the 1-week WT stuff it was as if that never happened. Why should this year be any different.

The Meintjes comparison is probably my favourite so far though.

That's because he was a half decent classics rider who turned into a GC climber aged 29 and falls over in most of his most important races, so even depite the significant results he has, a lot of people (myself included) still find it difficult to take him seriously as the type of rider he now is.

German commentator talking down Higuita's time trial abilities again. 20 seconds worse than Fuglsang? Show them, Sergio!

 

[RedheadDane]

Are Ineos trying to hypnotise people with their bikes?

 

[Bonimenier]

Can they not zoom in on that atrocious bike, please?

 

[JosefK]

Hatch has confirmed, Thomas is in the form of his life.

 

[Bonimenier]

Nice to see Jungels finally riding decent again

 

[Red Rick]

Evenepoel should have the benefit on the headwind section normally

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Swiss commentator just said Pinot hates the heat? Eh....

 

[KZD]

Küng 2 seconds faster than Remco but the headwind section should favour him.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Yeah Remco is surely in bad shape, that explains the mediocre climbing here

 

[wheresmybrakes]

That's it, back to favourite for the Vuelta! Bravo! Now c'mon Kung, beat him.

 

[Riek s]

Would love to see his performance output here.. 3rd day after his meltdown.

 

[RedheadDane]

Swiss commentator just said Pinot hates the heat? Eh....

I think it is a well-known fact that heat isn't his favourite. But of course, he proved yesterday that he can handle the heat.

 

[Salvarani]

Martinez didnt lose much in the second half.
