Tour de Suisse 2024, June 9 - 16

What a ludicrous overestimation of Kelderman, lol.

If he is not too badly hurt, he will drop Skjelmose these coming stages.

What a ludicrous overestimation of Kelderman, lol.

That's not even the biggest issue, even if he -in case everything goes his way- is capable of riding top 3 ahead of Uijtdebroeks. What if tomorrow Kelderman says he didn't have a good night's sleep because of the crash, or even feels stiffness due to what happened today. Boom, he loses 5 minutes and there goes your genius plan.

If Kelderman were Pogacar and you have a 100% chance to win in case he reaches the finish, then sure.

I really hope that EF does not ride for a GC result from Carapaz. There is nothing in his recent past that suggests he could challenge for a podium spot. I hope he ships a ton of time in week one and then goes on multiple mountain raids in the later stages. A stage win or two in high mountain stages is worth far more to sponsors than an invisible top 10, 20 minutes off the podium. Shunning GC will also free up Bettiol, Powless, and Van den berg to stage hunt as well.

There are a few other riders who will go stage hunting in high mountain stages.

Where on Earth is this coming from??

Uijtdebroeks disorder.

 

[search]

Last time they did tomorrow's final climb, Kelderman missed the yellow jersey by only a fraction of a second. So that could be a good opportunity for another near success.

Rounding into Tour form for the Wilco hype. Hopefully this year Wilco lives up to it since last year he was useless bar one stage.

He still did a better job than Benoot.

 

[SHAD0W93]

He still did a better job than Benoot.

But the hype was to be the second best domestique after Kuss but both got bullied by Adam and Majka. They were just saved since Vingegaard was head and shoulders above Pogacar in the third week.

I don't agree on Majka. I think Kelderman did a better job for Vingegaard than Majka for Pogacar.

Remember the good work Kelderman did for Vingegaard on Tourmalet. He was also the last one of Visma who stayed with Vingegaard in the vosge stage.

He also did a quite decent work on Puy de Dome and on Col de la loze when they had to stop because of the cars.

Carapaz and Bettiol out, both crashed

 

[Red Rick]

Not even Switserland can be a competitive race anymore.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wilco will make the time back, everyone just needs to have faith.

Unless Del toro tackles him again wth was that someone sent it on ig looked wierd. Id watch out if I was kelderman

Yes very suspect and if you look as well Landeirovic who I think is actually His Excellency of the UAE actually warned of this on page 1 of the thread.

Del Toro will destroy Wilco on the mountain

Kelderman did good on one stage, otherwise his pace kept getting overrun my UAE when they wanted to take over.

''Landeirovic said:

Haha more literally words have never been spoken. Did he type that before or after the stage?

Carapaz and Bettiol out, both crashed

Both riders I like and very disappoint to not see them in this race, but it seems like they're both ok and it's a case of abondon to prioritise the recovery for the tour rather than anything serious.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Visma spokesman unhappy with the conduct of UAE. Pretty funny stuff.

Apparently some on Wielerflits are going with the crashed on purpose line but I can't speak Dutch so can't confirm. Hopefully Del Toro attacks tomorrow to really spice things up a bit.

Yes they were terrified that kelderman would be so flying and so strong that Adam yates would be unable to follow such attacks, so they took him out just to make sure. Lol. The dutch belgian fans are always funny.

Didn't Vingegard keep doing that to his opponents a couple of years ago?

 

[aruipksni]

Pretty impressive from Riccitello given that he's barely had a season since The UAE Tour. IPT with some interesting options for The Tour.

i believe they are sending him to the Vuelta as a go.

 

[jmdirt]

Congrats TT!

Beautiful snowy landscape

The reason Del Toro overlapped wheels and fell off his bike, he had never seen snow up close, got a little scared.
Isaac in a solid 14th!!! Yeah!!

 

[Unchained]

His Team said on X, that he crashed?

Is X Twitter or is that Instagram or Telegram or is that Facebook, or is Facebook really Meta and is any of it Troof social! X is a good band from Los Angeles!!
