Re: Re:

Gaviria clearly the fastest, but launching way too early again

Clearly and clearly. Sagan didn't get his wheel immediately so it did demand an effort from him too.

Gaviria's got a marginally bigger top speed, but I think the efforts today emptied him a little more than Sagan. It was clearly not a regular sprint seeing that a non-sprinter like Haas was actually the one coming with most speed in the end.

He also passed on the windy side, shielding Gav.

 

[Netserk]

It was close. While Gaviria gapped Sagan at first, Sagan managed to overtake him already at almost 100m to go. Too early for Gav, but not 100m+ too early.

Right maybe not clearly.

Was a nice stage, much of the same, but a little harder tomorrow. Good stuff.

Really? Sagan looked faster today.

Well I think Gaviria would have won if he went a little later. His biggest problem seems to be that he isn't very smart, making so many bad decisions during races.

At least he didn't crash while riding right there amongst other riders.

Last climb is roughly 2km at 7%.

Sagan vs. the world.

Now you are being hard on him. It's over 1 month now since the last time he *** up a sprint for another rider

Tommorrow stage has very interesting finale. I am wondering last kilometre is uphill ? Somebody have profile of last kms ? If it is like 4-5% gradient in the final km it will be really hard sprint. Sagan clearly favourite but late attack on the last climb has a good chance of success i think.

Danish journalists at Tour de Suisse, were wondering about the beard Cort is growing.

His reply:

"I have been teasing Korsaeth, about DNF'ing every race yet this year, so I told him I would not shave, until that had changed...... Though I do feel the beard is getting a bit long, I am hopeful, because he will soon ride the norwegian TT championships"

Yesterday he said it was his girlfriend Katrine Aalerud he was waiting for finishing a race, but at the moment I suppose it would fit both of them

Where are you watching this? Eurosport isn't broadcasting (at least not ES1 and ES2)? What are the best (legal?) internet streams?

Watching with danish commentary, so don't think that stream will help you much, especially as it is not free?

You may be right, maybe I misheard.... just heard the norwegian part, and Korsaeth is the only norwegian on Astana, so I assumed.

Didn't know his GF is a norwegian rider

I often never watch this tour as its often so "blase". Why aren't there more summit finish spectacles for a country known for their mountains ? Have any of the organizers ever found decent steep climbs that would raise the spectacle? We have such excitement in Italy, Spain and France but I never hear of it during the tour de suisse :-(
