Tour de Suisse 2012: Stage 3; Martigny → Aarberg (195km)

[tomorrow]

well, those two have given up it seems

You have to wonder if they could have done more in the breakaway with over 7 minutes to the peloton with 40 kilometres to go.

maybe if they hooked on that train....

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

they look like they are gettign caught

Yes they are doomed.

Now I'm just reduced to hoping that Sky don't win. As a preference I'd like to see Sagan not win either, even though I like him, but it's probably too much to hope that neither of the teams who chased win.

 

[tomorrow]

ok so now the question is, will it be peter, sagan or peter sagan for the stage?

It was effectively a two man break at the at that point.

Better late than never. Good news for cycling.

You are certainly spreading the love today.

...says hi

 

[Angliru]

The more omerta guys of the old days go away, the better it is for cycling. Not agreeing with this?

Your hole has been dug. Good luck climing out of it.

 

[Flamin]

respect for Sky. no Cav or EBH, yet doing most of the chasing to give Swift a chance.

The dullest team in cycling this season.

well, you've got the point, probably the only real opponent for sagan, but it would be nice if haussler was 2nd tough

This is true. They could easily have sit back and waited for Liquigas to bring it back for Sagan, like other teams do when Cav is in the race.

yes, but I give them credit for this one.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Farrar is still there. I'd almost forgotten he existed. He's had a really terrible season.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

yes, but I give them credit for this one.

Why? It's bad enough that they ruin races for their actually top level riders.

 

[Publicus]

Can't they let Saxo get a win???

Edit: Nope

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Hopefull there won't be a crash here.

 

[BillytheKid]

They're holding on well. Making it real.

 

[Bala Verde]

wow technical finish. well done sagan.

 

[burning]

Sagan gets it again

 

[BillytheKid]

Sagan. Sagan. Sagan.....!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

P.S. I love you

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Too easy. Next stage perhaps they try holding up only Sagan behind a train for an equal fight?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Farrar screwed up a corner there, lost too much speed and effectively reduced it to a three man sprint.

And I'd bet on Sagan to beat the likes of Swift and Cooke every time.
