Tour de Suisse 2021 (June 6-13)

Stefan Küng: Look! Look! I'm on TV!

 

[broppo]

Alaphilippe better than Dennis lol
He might really fight for the overall here

that at least makes sure dennis will work for Carapaz

 

[IndianCyclist]

King Kung

 

[Mayomaniac]

VERY good time for Carapaz, on wet roads, he's ready

Only 2 sec behind Schachmann in this kind of Itt Is really impressive.

You need to get your priorities straight.

For a change, I have to admit that I am on the same page as broccolidwarf.

 

[Samamba]

Haven't really watched till now. Did the roads dry up or something? Some weird results with Scully and 3rd and I would say that Vermeersch in 5th is a surprise as well.

 

[tobydawq]

It seems so stupid that all the best riders started early, ruining the TV experience (okay, the horrible information level helps in this regard as well), and then the conditions are best now...

 

[BlueRoads]

Too bad Steimle didn't beat Alaphilippe. I wanted a German-French internet war because Alaphilippe would have had to work for Steimle.

 

[RedheadDane]

WTF! Random car on the road.

 

[BlueRoads]

WTF! Random car on the road.

Just shortly after the commentator said "he always likes to come to the Tour de Suisse, because it's such a nice race, always so well organized".

 

[geisterhome]

Schachmann?

Im starting to think he might actually best suited as a GC rider, in case he can lose a few more kilos.
He doesnt seem to be as punchy as the best in the hilly classics, he doesnt seem to have the best 3min effort, he has an ok sprint at best. Really steep climbs dont seem to suit him either. What he has is a good TT and he seems to do well already on rolling long climbs. Other than that right now he seems to be a rider who is good at everything but doesnt really have on outstanding quality. That way his classics results will never be much better than what they were this year.

 

[RedheadDane]

Fuglsang being pretty calm about the random car.

 

[luckyboy]

Tom Scully is third??

I see he has fourth place in a Suisse TT a few years ago but still weird.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Cattaneo with another stellar TT.

 

[BlueRoads]

Cattaneo with another stellar TT.

So not a German-French war, but an Italian-French one.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

So not a German-French war, but an Italian-French one.

I don't think there's a war going on here. Switzerland is neutral ground and they cope with all three/four languages on a daily basis.

 

[JosefK]

Dumoulin 12.32 not very good

He will announce re-retirement at close of stage today?

 

[saganftw]

is alaphillippe going for gc? looks like its between him and carapaz

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

So not a German-French war, but an Italian-French one.

Cattaneo - the new Masnada!

Well, that's true.

 

[saganftw]

Cattaneo - the new Masnada!

there should be a thread or something about that

 

[Leinster]

Kung wins most attacking rider.

 

[IndianCyclist]

Kung is a good contract for FDJ. He can keep the wins coming while able to help out either in the sprints or the mountains

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Kung wins most attacking rider.

I think the driver of the car that nearly hit Fuglsang should have been awarded that

 

[Mayomaniac]

Cattaneo the best TTer among Lefevere's sheep herd.
