Tour de Suisse (2.UWT), 9-17 June 2018

Despite losing out in the sprint yesterday, I thought Gaviria’s ride was rather impressive. If there’s a reduced sprint today and he makes it, I’ll be thoroughly impressed.

This. The guy is still 23 years old. It looked like Sagan really put the hammer down on the last climb. Of course, he had a lot of time to regroup with the team like QS but still impressive.

I am still hoping that Sagan has just started to build his form towards TDF and Gaviria is probably on the peak but if not Sagan might be without green and without TDF stage quite easily.

Bora could have quite a good team there but QS team will be scaaaary good.

Nasty wet
Nasty Rail crossing
Break of the day @3mins -30kms

Don't think the break has a chance here, but if the attacks increase the pace of the main group then it will certainly reduce the sprint group.

 

[Laplaz]

Probably Colbrelli again

 

[Frankschleck]

Chris Juhl Jensen is such a legend

 

[sir fly]

Looking good for Jensen...

 

[Laplaz]

Never seen a finish on such a airport before

 

[Broccolidwarf]

GOOOOOOOOOOOO CHRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is such a viking

 

[yetiyeti]

Damn I think he's gonna make it

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Such a nail biter

 

[sir fly]

Congrats.
Took a stage he came for.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Beast-like performance, considering what he did yesterday. Chapeau

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Astana pulling for Cort - this is going to be close AF

 

[Broccolidwarf]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is such a legend

 

[yetiyeti]

Awesome.

 

[SKSemtex]

Great ride from Jensen.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Look at the danes on Astana (incl. Cort) congratulating him with big smiles, after failing to catch him, classy

 

[RedheadDane]

Holy ***! That was crazy.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

BTW, danish commentators are saying, his antics crossing the line, was the fist time he made public, that his girl is pregnant.... they knew, but were sworn to secrecy

 

[GraftPunk]

That was pretty epic, what a great run-in by Jensen after the summit!

 

[SafeBet]

Massive ride by Juul Jensen. Chapeau!
For a moment I thought it was Gaviria in third place, but should Lampaert.

 

[Screecher]

Don't understand why Sagan started sprinting with 300 to go. That guy makes no sense sometimes.

Mende at the Tour de France (again this year) but usually there are people on it so it doesn't look so terrible

Last year's Tour finish at Peyragudes was on one too

He probably had a faint hope of reaching Juul and knew that the pace needed to be very fast.

That is my only explanation but it's not very good, given that he had no chance whatsoever of catching him.
