Tour de Suisse 2024, June 9 - 16

Almeida drops Yates!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Weird way to do it, made it look like he attacked him

 

[postmanhat]

Skelmose probably up to 4th in GC, despite his bad day.

Nonsense. Almeida is unable to throw an attack

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Joe Allen Al Maiden everyone.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Chapeau Almeida!

This stage was stupidly short, couldn't even get into the rhythm of things. But at least the scenery was nice.

 

[postmanhat]

UAE are the new VLAB.

[Mayomaniac]

That former nc bands on Almeida's jersey make him look like the former Bulgarian NC...

 

[JosefK]

Joe Ow! Ouch! ... Watch out for the TT.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Joe Allen Al Maiden everyone.

At the beginning of the broadcast Kirby also said Ciao Almida.

Nice win by Chao (that was him later), who overtook Yates whom they sadly can pronounce. Unlike Roggatello earlier.

When Yates finished 2nd in the stage with the attack in the last 5km, some stated he was a class above. He actually finished 24 seconds from the chasers. he would have won by 45s to 1m if he was a class above.

Great to see Almeida take it. A bit odd with how he took time on Yates but also slowed up around the last corner, I wonder what was being said on radio.

Almeida is the new Danail Petrov!

4 Syllables in a row crashes the system

Apparently, there's someone called Ricky Tello in the race as well?

He doesn't win that often, it is possible he wanted to enjoy it and forgot about the GC. That could become costly.

 

[roundabout]

5'31'' would be 10% delay
8'17'' would be 15% delay

Edit: but I somehow suspect that time cut is greater than 15%

 

[Netserk]

What a catastrophe it would have been if Blobloblo had waited for Keldermerckx earlier in the race.

PCS says 25%

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Bernal said the race was crazy fast, but he's doing his best and is aiming for the podium. Hope he gets a spot.

 

[Boehmand]

If Vingegaard doesn't get ready for the Tour, and Roglic crashes as per usual, it seems quite conceivable UAE can take all 3 podium spots.

I'd like to be a fly on the wall at the team meeting, where they decide who out of Yates, Ayuso and Almeida is to be the domestique - so the other two can podium with Pogacar

 

[jmdirt]

UAE...
Del Toro, Almeida, Yates!

Yes although he was pushing for time in the last couple hundred meters, I guess he only lost about a second though.

 

[Lequack]

UAE...
Del Toro, Almeida, Yates!

And that's not even counting Ayuso
