Tour de Suisse 2021 (June 6-13)

[Bolder]

Clever riding by Fugl

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Nobody is pulling in the group behind, it is mano a mano for the stage.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Carapaz would easily be Ineos Tour leader if there was just one TT

Or if there were proper mountains, for that matter.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Fuglsang is not pulling again until he goes for the sprint..... he knows Carapaz is all about GC.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Fuglsang has position - Carapaz is faster......

 

[Eclipse]

Boss win from Richie <3

 

[Anybody_but..]

Great!!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Why the heck did you go so early, Jakob?

 

[woodburn]

Fuglsang went way too early.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Carapaz takes it, Fuglsang tried far too early.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Great win

 

[Bolder]

Clever riding by Fugl

... Until the last 300 meters...

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Fuglsang couldn't have got that more wrong

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Seems as if Fuglsang thought the bend was closer to the line and that he had to be up front heading into it.

 

[MartinGT]

Major Facepalm by Jacob there.

 

[Eeslliw]

Nice lead out from Jakob for Carapaz.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

I'll say it before anyone else does......the Slovenians would have slaughtered Carapaz there.

 

[RedheadDane]

Carapaz takes it all.

 

[titan31]

Terrible from Fuglsang in those last 300m, and also from BikeExchange by having two guys there and doing feck all riding with Chavez until the last km.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

First time I feel sorry for Fuglsang

 

[Escarabajo]

We should praise the attackers. They make the race more fun. Had Chaves stayed in that group all the time I am sure he would have dropped them in the last climb. But it was more fun like this.

Richie looks very fit and thin!!!!!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Exit interview with Fuglsang:

"I didn't feel Dunbar was pulling that fast, so I thought I'd close the gap to Chavez."
"Carapaz was too fast for me on the line"
"I waited for him when he got close, and let him do all the work, because he was riding for the jersey, but it wasn't enough to beat him on the line".
"I'm feeling good and everything is good".

 

[Eeslliw]

I'll say it before anyone else does......the Slovenians would have slaughtered Carapaz there.

I wouldn't be so sure. Did you forget about Padun?

 

[woodburn]

Any sign of Powless?

 

[Escarabajo]

Huge gaps!
