Tour de Suisse 2017 (10/06 > 18/06/2017)

Taramae mashing it like it's 2012 !

 

[Ruby United]

This climb looks brutal, and still 12k to go of the stage!

 

[RedheadDane]

NOoooo! Pozzo!

Dammit! I was really hoping he'd win this.

 

[rick james]

the climb is crazy, blown to bits and we still have a long way to go

 

[Eclipse]

The Giro just hit Pozzovivo. Brutal

 

[Cance > TheRest]

The funny thing is that Taramaae looks like the strongest. Ion looks good as well. Kruijswijk is going to crack soon I think.
Edit: Ion is cracking...

 

[rick james]

carnage

 

[TommyGun]

Jeeezus! Does Taaramae know there are still 10km of climbing to do ?

 

[Valv.Piti]

This climb! <3

 

[Eclipse]

Taarame has absolutely decimated them

Spilak's huge recovery effort yesterday really paying dividends today

 

[Vasilis]

Wow Dombrowski, still there

 

[portugal11]

I want this climb in the 2018 tour

 

[Ruby United]

Wow! Everyone is going! Pozzo, Caruso, Izzagire, Kruijswik.... Wow!!!
Spilak, the weakest yesterday, is the best today and Teramae is ridiculously strong - looks like any further talk of today's stage may belong in The Clinic in the Katusha thread

 

[IndianCyclist]

all giro finishers are dropping like dead flies. Does not look good for Quintana in the TDF

 

[burning]

Just tuned in, what the hell is Taaramae and Spilak doing?

Always a big ask but the difference between trying big efforts with a week of recovery & training as opposed to a month is significant.

Something like this would never happen in the Tour.
It could be very boring in the Tour.

 

[Eclipse]

Yasss Spilak! Go go gooooo

Agreed. The climbing has been great because there's nobody who has been overwhelmingly strong and riders have only had one strong domestique at best. This stage would have been a train in the tour.

Common Spilak

 

[TommyGun]

Solo ride from Spilak for 8.5 km? He is bound to crack, no?

 

[Supimilian]

Re:

Winning.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Big Arms is really going for it.

 

[Eclipse]

I really really reaaaally love having guys like Spilak who target 1 week races on the tour. Really brings added value to the season

 

[Escarabajo]

Nice stage!!

 

[Velolover2]

The biggest rival for Spilak would have been Taaramäe today.
