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

[SarahtheDane]

Fuglsang counting on Higuita and Thomas to be out on corona tomorrow?

 

[Red Rick]

Thomas going full Leecheimer

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Fuglsang doing a great job "honoring" the jersey by towing the better TTler along with him.

 

[Velolover2]

Thomas might be smart. Little Higuita is no threat in the time trial but if the ITT gets cancelled, the joke is on him.

 

[Salvarani]

Great win!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The only attack Thomas has put in all race was for the intermediate sprint on the stage Sagan won, such a sad edition. At least Pinot won the stage.

 

[Red Rick]

To be fair to Thomas

This is the longest range attack he's ever done in a stage race

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Thomas releasing his inner Denz.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Wow, Thomas took 20 seconds on Fuglsang in 500m.

Bob Jungles beating Remco Evenepol

 

[Red Rick]

Reichenbag about as useful for Kung as he was to Pinot on the way to Jafferau in 2018

 

[JosefK]

Thomas to easily win this beaten-down TDS. Pinot saves the day, momentarily.

Edit: Thomas wins, assuming there is a TT stage tomorrow.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Sebastian Reichenbach supports his leaders like the rope supports the hanging man.

Congrats to Pinot.
Hard fought out victory.

The climb broke the pack quite nicely at the end, but the climbing standard's a bit below the one at Dauphine.

 

[postmanhat]

Bob Jungles beating Remco Evenepol

Had pretty much given up any hope of seeing Jungel's put in a performance like that again. Maybe his career starts again here?

 

[Bolder]

Pinot's going to win a Tour stage. He said he never went into the red today. If so, then he's on good form.

 

[HelloDolly]

Pinot to win a few stages at the Tour ?

Says he is not going for GC

 

[TourOfSardinia]

GC

 

[Velolover2]

Küng can almost podium if Higu or Bird is having a bad time trial.

 

[Filippo_3467]

So Thomas winsthe Tour de Suisse. Küng a lock for 2nd Place. The race for 3rd. between Fuglsang, Higuita and Powless will be interesting.

 

[HelloDolly]

Not sure about INEOS for the Tour

Seems Thomas is the strongest but if he cant stay with Higuita on a climb how can he beat the Slovenians and Vlasov & Vinge ??

Fingers crossed for Pozzowagen for 3rd.

A bit below? With the exception of possibly Daniel Martinez and Higuita, I don't think any of these riders can even top ten the Tour.

 

[JosefK]

Can Powless make up 1' 19" on Higita in the time trial to reach the podium and still not lose more than a minute to Kung? Seems like a stretch, but maybe there is a sliver of a chance. Also, Pozzo lurking.

The tour isnt all about the long climbs
