Tour de Suisse 2021 (June 6-13)

[Broccolidwarf]

It's not "A stoner", I can say that much.

Unless you lay cobbles in California, presumably

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Haha, you are right - so what is it called in English, if your vocation is laying cobblestones?

In Danish it's called a "bridge layer", which makes no sense, except that the stones are called "bridge stones".

A stonemason would be more for buildings I think, so probably "paver"

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Great to see Fuglsang has found his form again, has has really looked good this race.

I wouldn't put 2 stage wins in the Tour past him - maybe even polkadots as well

 

[Samu Cuenca]

For an Austrian Herminator might be a better nickname

Though I don't think he's as good a descender as Maier was.

Mäder should clearly have changed bike yesterday.

But isn't paver more general, so that it includes people that do asphalt work?

In Denmark laying cobblestones is a very specific job (and education), that pertains ONLY to laying stones.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Let's slap some skis on him and find out - also, I think he was referring to Arnold

 

[Mayomaniac]

Yeah, Mäder was always known as a good descender in the u23 ranks.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Birdsong fighting to put Chessman 8 seconds behind him.

That is why he is pulling the group - it's clearly podium > stage win.

Same in South Tyrol.
I guess back in the day when the road was built you could actually call them pavers, because that's what a paved road looked like back then.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Fuglsang fighting against BORA for a podium spot once more.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Same finish as the TT yesterday BTW.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Mäder looked like on a training ride, while outsprinting Woods.

 

[Eclipse]

Nice stage, not enough in the tank to really challenge the win. Great efforts from Schachmann trying to hang on

 

[RedheadDane]

Fuglsang fighting against BORA for a podium spot once more.

Let's hope Schachmann didn't take a wrong turn, and gets reinstated onto the podium afterwards...

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Phew. Sigh of relief. Jakob almost threw away the podium

 

[saganftw]

that was probably one of the most hilarious stage sprints i have seen in a while

 

[Samu Cuenca]

When will Mäder actually launch his sprint?

 

[Samamba]

Mader vs. Padun for Tour win. Mader will just be "sprinting" 3 weeks long.

 

[Pinot's goat]

Great to see Fuglsang has found his form again, has has really looked good this race.

I wouldn't put 2 stage wins in the Tour past him - maybe even polkadots as well

There is a lot of climbing competition for breaks at the Tour. Yates, Mollema, Nibali, Bilbao, Haig, O'Connor, Lutsenko, Izagirre, D.Martin etc are all stage hunting from the start so 2 wins is very unlikely.

 

[railxmig]

Geez, the disrespect by Mäder. He made Woods looking like Meek Mill.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

 

[Mayomaniac]

If it wasn't for missing that split on the first roadstage Pozzovivo would have been fighting for the 3rd place on the gc. Still, great to see him competitive once again after all those injuries and crashes.

 

[Samamba]

What was that kind of weird question about Mader vs. Hirschi?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Its broccolidwarf, every dane is a superman

 

[limak_]

How are they pronouncing it?

Emphasis should be on the middle syllable.

"catTAneo".

Sorry, guys, seems like I was wrong
