Sunday, June 17 - Tour de Suisse, Stage 9: Näfels[LinthArena] - Sörenberg, 215.8km

[Dedelou]

break look pretty motivated it will be hard to reel them in, now but I am sure not impossible if the big teams start putting the hammer down

 

[jens_attacks]

no way they will lose 11 minutes on the glaubenberg,they have the stage in the pocket
on the descends they won't lose time
the last 15 km aren't hard....4% or something

 

[Bala Verde]

narrow roads on that climb and downhill. I think the peloton will take it easy on the descent.

 

[jens_attacks]

if rui costa feels crrappy again,movistar should put the hammer down now on the descent.to start the glaubenberg with a little advantage

and yes looking at the way he pedals,he will lose lots of time

 

[GazelleFormula]

Bit a technical descent. Good roads and dry though. Maybe some good descenders in the peleton will want to give it a try?

Bruszeghin too fast on the descent for the complete peloton.
