When I see the stage profile and the crappy weather I think 'Oh no!'

But yesterday's stage finish was one of the best I've ever seen for a breakaway group, so the profile isn't everything, I guess.

This is Switerland, though: I want to see big cols and great jersey cows with huge bells and udders...er...excuse me for a mo...

Sagan for another tour de Sagan win.

You know, it's suddenly hit me where I've seen this race before: it's the Tour of Poland, early stages.
The fourth circuit finish in a row.

Switzerland is a small country for a 9 day race.

The last hill is short, but steep. Obviously Sagan will win, but it shouldn't be a bad finish.

Harmon rambling on about sprinting in the olden days, since little is happening in the race.
A pity nothing much of interest has taken place in the cycling world, over the past 24 hours or so..............:rolleyes:

EuroSport commentators ignoring that elephant in the room.:eek:
The eurosport commentators I have, Christian, the Frenchie and the slow-speaking native speaker, mentioned it first off.

Asia seems to be taking a break from Harmon, which I don't mind at all.

To the guys from the English speaking cycling world here,

this Brian Smith, has he been a former pro, like Kelly and Backstedt e.g. were? He always seems so serious, never heard him even come close to a laugh... Makes it funny in a way, with Harmon as seemingly a really cool guy.

For sure. The vile he has spewed towards them, particularly Vino was unbelievable.
So too with Ricco, who, it turns out was a mere amateur compared to Mr Clinic.
