Saturday, june 16th - Tour de Suisse, stage 8: Bischofszell - Arosa 148km

[Maaaaaaaarten]

yep 1 boni second

Commemtators said 2, but I don't trust those swiss guys seeing the ticker they put up.

High gear means low cadence/grinding. Low = spinning.

Great. Thanks for the clarification.

1 - Albasi - 3 sec
2 - Velits - 2 sec
3 - Gesink -1 sec

 

[Bala Verde]

We're getting close to the final section.

Gerdemann is absolutely useless. Don't the Shacks want this stage to be hard?

 

[jens_attacks]

i'll laugh my asz off if this was a strategy by movistar

of course it's unlikely,rui costa seems dead.and valverde just like him

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

We're getting close to the final section.

The fireworks only start at 5km to go. I hope for Costa he is recovered... otherwise he could get a big bang

 

[Parrulo]

after seeing costa on the last steep part, these 3k look more then enough to get all the time needed for gesink and schleck.

Just checking in, is Klöden still in the group?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Ya Rabo like high cadence

 

[Havetts]

Just checking in, is Kloden still in the group?

Dropped hours ago.. Same time as Gadret.

Long gone.

Kinda surprised RSNT have not put Fuglsang on the front considering how Gerdamann is having trouble setting the pace, though he is doing a decent job.

 

[gthx_gthx_]

How Steep is the steep part ?

Thanks. Guy just doesn't have it any more.

It's not really steep right now though. They can pretty much benfit from sitting on wheels at the moment.

 

[Parrulo]

steep part about to start. . . . i hope gesink forgot to eat his gel again

 

[maxmartin]

10 dam is a beast

 

[Red Rick]

How Steep is the steep part ?

K2 steep

No just kidding, about 10% average

 

[theyoungest]

Gerdemann is absolutely useless.

 

[Bala Verde]

Bonus seconds at the finish as well? 10s for Albasini?

 

[Armchair cyclist]

steep part about to start. . . . i hope gesink forgot to eat his gel again

But he has teammates to remind him

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Psst Eurosport guy that ain't bottle

 

[Unkown]

Frank Schleck looks good, hopefully he got the finishing touch today.

 

[Trofinios]

When Albasini smells victory he is damn strong.
