Tour de Suisse 2021 (June 6-13)

[Eclipse]

Nice descent this. pacey, bit techy, fun

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Alaphillippe pulled the group back to Carapaz.

 

[Valv.Piti]

If you have the legs that Jakob does, I cannot understand why you wouldnt attack before. He probably expected Carapaz to do so, but yeah.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

NOW it's fast, with road works and other interesting stuff

 

[Escarabajo]

These guys going fast!!!!
Giving some respect to the Tour de Suisse!!!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Carapaz and Alaphillippe fighting over the lead in the group, they keep changing places.

 

[Escarabajo]

Sh!t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Eclipse]

Chaves buddy that's someone's driveway

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Fuglsang going down the mountain like a speeding bullet - he doubled his gap to the group.

 

[woodburn]

Chaves wanted to pay a visit to that homeowner.

 

[ppanther92]

Luckily there was a driveway though

 

[jaylew]

Chaves buddy that's someone's driveway

Probably lucky that driveway was there but there goes his lead.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Dunbar put to work.

Without him, the chase would be very different, a captain would have to work.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Dunbar has looked legit all race, bit of leeway in the Vuelta please

 

[Bolder]

Alaf negotiations about a bidon inside 10k...

 

[Skalman]

Is Chaves still in the race?

 

[Escarabajo]

Was Ala being warned of a fine?

 

[woodburn]

Amazed how these guys can carry on conversations behind them while keeping control of their bikes going downhill in a group.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

That's probably a fine - and possibly a time penalty - for Alaphilippe, for getting provisions too close to the end?

 

[Eclipse]

Is Chaves still in the race?

Out front with Birdsong - just blew most of his lead with a descending error

 

[Escarabajo]

Is Richie OK?

 

[Bolder]

That's probably a fine - and possibly a time penalty - for Alaphilippe, for getting provisions too close to the end?

Think he's arguing that he lost his bidon on the descent but he definitely risks a time penalty.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Crossing my fingers Tolhoek will crack soon, otherwise they will catch the two in front.

 

[woodburn]

Jumbo doing the work for the favorites.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Think he's arguing that he lost his bidon on the descent but he definitely risks a time penalty.

Yeah, but he got a gel too.

Anyway, may be nothing, just seemed odd to be debating with the official there.
