Tour de Suisse 2021 (June 6-13)

[limak_]

I guess papi Horner will personally find Ala and super-duper violate him. As with many Ala moves i don't understand them. After Gottardpass there are like 60-70k flat and you only have Cattaneo against most of the peloton. WTF!?

Training ride before TdF

 

[Eclipse]

he could have won the stage and end in top 3 gc at the end.

He just doesn't look strong enough for it imo. Maybe could go top 3 today but doubt he holds that to the end of the race anyway

 

[sir fly]

Hold on, folks... Group of four is a joke but with twenty more...
Getting interesting.

Total mess.
Either on the road or on the radio tour.

 

[BlueRoads]

This looks so good on PCS!! Why don't we have pictures?

Ala gave up and sat up, he's with the bunch now. Best placed in the new group is Powless at 9 mins down.

Possible bridge points for GC riders if they want to attack now though.

If Ala is not too tired....he now has three teammates with his to drive the pace

edit. oh wait f knows what pcs is doing now. could be anyone in that group

Maybe Vansevenant has a small chance?
It looked like he sat up early yesterday, maybe in order for today, unless he just doesn't have the form.

Looking at PCS live report makes me think I'd have a hard time following it in the broadcast too.

 

[BlueRoads]

Seems soon more riders will have dropped out this morning due to stomach problems than there are left in the peloton by the time the broadcast starts.

 

[BlueRoads]

And if this gets totally out of hand, Cattaneo will be the new leader at the end of the day

Infection existed but the treatment gave the result...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Ala learned the hard way that it's much easier to lose 20 seconds than to gain them back.

Are there actually any riders left in the peloton?

I think Carapaz is the peloton. Poor Richie.

 

[titan31]

Has the peleton just been dropped at this stage? That front group is massive

Favourite live feed update of the year

14:37:46
From what I can tell from race radio the peloton now consists of Alaphilippe, the yellow jersey... and that's about it. Everyone is attacking or counter-attacking.

 

[BlueRoads]

Is that Tim D going for the KOM?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

For the Danes:

Kragh, Kron and Kamp in the front group.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

No idea why Kron is attacking uphill - he's a puncheur, not a climber - but I tip my hat to the courage!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

And now Kragh goes - it's DANE DAY

 

[RedheadDane]

And now Kragh goes - it's DANE DAY

Been ridicilously long since we last had a win too!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

TV2 now playing intro interview with Kragh.

He starts:

"My legs are feeling bad, I'll just have to see how I go, work for the team, and get through as well as I can"

 

[Valv.Piti]

I have a feeling Broccolidwarf follow these danish riders more than their own mothers

 

[BlueRoads]

That leader's jersey is so plain. Get Richie out of that - I mean I like him to win, but this is not bearable.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Kragh has blown up, after setting up Leknessund, who now leads - pretty good teamwork

 

[sir fly]

I think I can reconstruct the events preceding the live stream.
It was all about Alaphilippe's presence at the front and the chasers knew they'll be given freedom once Ala agrees to back off.
