Tour de Suisse 2021 (June 6-13)

[Samu Cuenca]

Imhof seems ready for the Olympics.

 

[RedheadDane]

Raining a bit now...

 

[Mayomaniac]

Rain starts in Switzerland and Küng moves towards the front.

 

[Bolder]

A day like this might force Dumoulin to reconsider his comeback. No fun being had in the peloton.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

It's not a Tour de Suisse if it isn't raining the majority of the time. No idea why Alaphilippe is riding here considering his track record in this kind of weather.

 

[RedheadDane]

Rain starts in Switzerland and Küng moves towards the front.

He missed out on his usual odd-numbered-year Romandie Pissing Rain Win.

 

[Escarabajo]

Already better than Dauphine!

 

[Bolder]

All we need are Pidcock and Wout and we'd have a real battle royale...

 

[Mayomaniac]

Cortina, WTF?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Mathieu not having Strade legs yet.

 

[WKA311]

Imhof seems ready for the Olympics.

Sadly he was ousted from final selection two weeks ago because of "lack of shape"...

 

[Anybody_but..]

So far, so good.

 

[Earns1985]

Schachmann strong

Ok, for a new hour record attempt then.

Mathieu not having Strade legs yet.

What strikes me is that I had an impression that Mathieu was very often not hidden from the wind, riding in front of the bunch. Also that was a great move from Quickstep getting Alaf cofmortably to the front as soon as climb started.

 

[Bolder]

Mathieu not having Strade legs yet.

We shall see

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Compare and contrast this to the Dauphiné murito stage. Got to love the racing attitude of the big names here.

 

[RedheadDane]

They ain't seeing Van Der Poel again.

 

[limak_]

Wow, didn't expect that from him

 

[Tim Cahill]

The top climber from Bahrain closes the gap to Van Der Poel easily on the flat.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Ala caught with his pants down.

 

[RedheadDane]

They ain't seeing Van Der Poel again.

Schachmann obviously didn't read this...

 

[limak_]

Ala caught with his pants down.

He was focused too much on Mathieu

 

[Broccolidwarf]

The German bobble head is looking good, I think he takes the stage!

 

[limak_]

Schachmann obviously didn't read this...

Just until the last 250m
