Tour de Suisse 2021 (June 6-13)

[Broccolidwarf]

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

Cattaneo was reaching out for it, but clearly doesn't have the legs, he was one of the first to drop from the break.

 

[Earns1985]

Ineos still with 5 riders.
Carapaz, Dunbar, Dennis, Henao and Sivakov.
Rowe and Golas already dropped..

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Great stage this.

People keep attacking all over the place, and the lead keeps shifting..... and we still have the long descent to come, and then the false flat all the way to the end...... anything can happen.

 

[BlueRoads]

Oh Conca looked really bad! And smiles! (Maybe has children at home who are watching??)

 

[sir fly]

That wound looks like the road marking peeled off him.

Well... some people have kids young.

Dude, he's 22

 

[BlueRoads]

Dude, he's 22

Well, if he became a dad at 18 his twins might now be 4

(Probably more his mother, then...)

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Anyone know if Pernsteiner also wants to impress his mother and/or has lost weight recently (though German Wikipedia claimed he already had the perfect body for a climber)?

I gotta ask.........

.........why twins?

 

[BlueRoads]

I gotta ask.........

.........why twins?

Pure fiction.

 

[Samamba]

Didn't even know De La Cruz was still alive. He looks really strong today.

 

[sir fly]

'Cause of the plural.

 

[RedheadDane]

Even if he had them at 20, they'd still likely be understand that something's wrong with daddy.

He still has the downhill to do.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

'Cause of the plural.

I mean, if we are making stuff up, why not make it fun..... he might have quadruplets

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Yeah, I completely forgot him too - weird they have no camera on him

 

[Broccolidwarf]

(though German Wikipedia claimed he already had the perfect body for a climber)?

Whenever he goes out clubbing, the German ladies come up to him and say:

"If I told you you have a perfect climbers body, would you hold it against me?"

 

[RedheadDane]

This thread has taken a weird turn. Anything happened in the race while I was (mentally) over in Belgium?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Man De La Cruz is pushing a big gear uphill

(or he is going really slow )

De La Cruz is increasing his gap, but he might lose a lot of it on the upcoming descent.

De la Cruz, in front of Powless, in front of a group of 10 (with Kron).

 

[BlueRoads]

There are so many options for my cqteam-guys to win! Powless, Vansevenant, Hirschi, Latour!
So it's going to be de la Cruz, Pernsteiner, Fabbro, I suppose.

The last 1.4K is completely flat, so who is the best power sprinter in the group?

 

[Earns1985]

So no GC action today. Would have been possible to gain time on Alaphilippe (after his effort in the beginning of the stage) and on Schachmann (who showed weekness in the beginning of the stage)..
