Tour de Suisse 2024, June 9 - 16

[Slavique Nuke]

Dumbass Ineos chase a random breakaway. But when they are supposed to be pro-active in the race, they are always hiding.

People whining about UAE when it was in fact Rivera from Ineos that was the main culprit of that crash.

Obvious mistake by Del Toro…

the peloton is down to 20 riders apparently, but no idea what's the plan now. 80k of flat to come up next, and they didn't drop Yates anyway

Ineos nuking the 2nd climb in a week long stage race wasn't quite what I expected, a shame the feed hasn't started yet.

Like the last stage in Romandie. Get the fatigue in where you can.

The regroupment was inevitable. Had it been 30km of flat not 80km then pushing on would have been viable. Should still end up with a good breakaway.

Not even Switserland can be a competitive race anymore.

People when there are no gaps on a MTF: "Bwaahh, boring riders, nobody races, everybody finishes together, cycling is ruined!!!!"

People when there is separation on a MTF:
"Bwaahh, no suspense in the race, no excitement, cycling is ruined!!!!"

Wow, "people" are not a homogenous blob?!

Skjelmose getting the Best Young Rider's jersey just shows how silly it is to keep this tradition alive. Please get rid of this. Some are joking that there should be a Best Old Rider's jersey instead - in my opinion, that's not even a joke, on the contrary it's more relevant, and it would be a good occasion to pay tribute to some of the famous "veterans".

People when people agree: "Bwaahh, can't you think for yourself, be just a little bit original, public discourse is ruined!!!!"

Toby when he sees a notification and it says 'Netserk quoted your post in the thread...':
"Bwaahh!!!!"

To be serious for a second, after so many of the greatest races of the season have not only been won in dominant fashion, but early and as expected in a very one-sided manner, I'd appreciate a race like last year's edition with a tight battle for GC more than usual. I wouldn't blame anyone for being just a little bit fed-up with demolition jobs at this point.

I'm fine with the young rider class but it should definitely be Under-23 instead of 25.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Lovely waterfall they were showing

 

[Colombiano Cadence]

Someone like Rubio won’t be as easy to pull back on the final climb

 

[pelotonIQ]

Changing lane in pursuit of an attacker is normal and expected. Had Del Toro been attentive, there would've been no crash.

Yates doesn't crash, he easily navigates the situation. As he was attentive.

Cool. By your logic, had Kelderman been attentive, there would be no crash for him.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

I wonder what Switzerland would look like if the Habsburgs had stayed there and not come to our land to screw things up

I understand it too, but we just had Dauphiné where it was close, and a lot of people were critical of that too.

I know it's not the same people by the way.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Rubio wtf, that didn't look safe

 

[Movitrain]

Rubio wtf, that didn't look safe

Wow he REALLY wanted that watch bad. I expect him to be... relegated? How does that work on a bonus sprint?

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

wow just glanced this thread seems like I have to catch up watching every stages in both this race and Dauphine! And Still miss about 13 stages from the Giro. How many days was it yet to Le Grand Départ?

 

[Netserk]

Ineos from the bottom of the climb.

June 29th is the first stage, so plenty of time!

 

[JosefK]

Yates stomp incoming, eventually.

 

[Sciatic]

Ineos train on the lower half of a climb is such a living meme, I wonder if riders on other teams joke about it.
