Last climb - up and down!

Is it a railway crossing in the last kilometer ?! Seems so on the satellite picture - wow!

Re: Re:

1,5kW sprint, me thinks

according to @tds
Top speed: 76.21km/h
Power: 1220W
Not bad

1220W - his average power (18 seconds).
His maximum - 1417W for about 5 seconds.

Dumoulin DNS

 

[Ikbengodniet]

Don't even know what he was doing there.

Big mouth came back to earth

 

[klintE]

Pantano abandoned TdS

 

[Robert5091]

Tommy D fulfilling his contractual appearance - back to the cocktail circuit!

 

[Jagartrott]

PhilGil's max speed yesterday was 119 km/h - heheh (mad!)

 

[tobydawq]

Reza was faster - 135 kph. I have never heard of such speeds before.

Yeah, I think he is laying in bed crying right now. Spent 3 weeks preparing in Italy (peaked way too early) and then came back tired for the race that matters most. Tour de Suisse 2017 will be seen as a new step in human evolution - and Tommy D won't be a part of it. I bet even Hegel is getting real mad in his grave right now.

 

[Hellyea]

Can't believe Tom D *** up his TDS palmares over some stupid Italian 3week race
/s

 

[Velolover2]

With Lopéz and Dumo out, we are talking about a Tour of Poland-level peloton for "the 4th Grand Tour".

 

[GraftPunk]

Jeez, abandons left and right.

 

[Escarabajo]

I guess Pantano was pulled out to recuperate and be ready for Contador at the Tour. No more point in being in the race anymore.

Strange some riders this year have kept the racing kilometers to be ready for the Tour. Besides there is no reason to risk a crash in the remaining mountainous stages.

Dont even know why so much trolling about Dumoulin DNS. The guy just won il freakin Giro..

Re:

[klintE]

When was the last time that the giro winner showed up in suisse or the dauphine and actually performed well?
He shouldnt have started obviously. Mistake by the team imo.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Jan has attacked. He is putting the hirt on

 

[Velolover2]

Hirt is a natural born climber.

 

[klintE]

Five separated breakers, Woods on the front
Hirt speeds up nicely, but finish not suit him well

 

[Velolover2]

It's a shame that they send their B-team to a race with a stunning scenery and climbs like this one.

 

[shalgo]

Great ride by Woods so far, but Hirt seems to be gaining on him.

Betancur still present in the 20-man peloton.

 

[Velolover2]

Caruso attacks himself!

 

[GraftPunk]

Well, on the upside since it's second tier riders left now in the race, we should be in for fun racing and tighter time gaps.
