Tour de Suisse 2012: Stage 4; Aarberg → Trimbach/Olten (189km)

[CraZyCaLL]

Freire in the first group also

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Poels attack, but he's not getting away.

 

[hatcher]

From the heli shot it looks like Swift also.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Cataldo dropped by the first chase group.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Issue now is who will chase.

 

[Mellow Velo]

I don't get the pun in the name.

No.
Greg Van Average works better.

 

[Pippo_San]

Cataldo really is a disappointment...he showed some promise a couple of years ago, but he didn't develop into anything...what kind of rider is he?
He's not fast, he's not a climber, he's not one for the classics, he's not a TTer.
Could be a good/great domestique, but nothing else.

 

[Trofinios]

Any teammate to Sagan left in the front group?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Astana trying to do something on the descent?

 

[wirral]

No.
Greg Van Average works better.

Greg Van Vegemite?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Any teammate to Sagan left in the front group?

One still left. I'm pretty sure it's Moser.

 

[Sasquatch]

Nordhaug will hold on.

No one is able to chase from the peloton.

 

[goggalor]

Nordhaug has kept that 30 second gap for almost 10 km now. Hope he can hang on.

Edit: 15" between him and GvA/Elmiger. No chasing in the peloton.

 

[Wergeland]

Nordhaug is doing very heavy gears now.

 

[iZnoGouD]

i want Sagan to win

About 10 seconds to the chasers there.

The gap is going out to the peloton, so the winner should be one of the three. Nice to see attacking riding rewarded.

 

[wirral]

Greg Van Vegemite?

Is there a points jersey in this race or just a competition with no jersey?

 

[kanari]

hoping Nordhaug can hold off but I guess van Avermaet will take this...

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Yeah, Nordhaug will hold.

Edit: oh, they're actually closer than I thought.

 

[BillytheKid]

Always want to see a break survive. Nordhaug!

 

[Bala Verde]

Nordhaug still strong. the 2 haven't managed to close that gap for a while.

He has been bombing the downhill, but looks a little out of steam when it goes up...

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

8 seconds gap.

 

[gustienordic]

Looks like he might get eaten up

 

[Hugo Koblet]

It's Moser time! Won't take long before the front three are caught!

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Nordhaug sat up for the chasing two.
