Tour de Suisse 2024, June 9 - 16

[Mayomaniac]

Bernal is 3rd in GC anyway, with no one close in either direction. What is he supposed to achieve?

Nothing, he should just try to hang with them and build up his shape nicely for the Tour...

Secure it. It should also help for the stage tomorrow.

It sure beats doing nothing and achieving nothing.

“You had one job to do . . . “ (and didn’t pay attention to the race going by).

 

[Samamba]

Lenny Martinez dropped already

 

[Eyeballs Out]

It's Ineos. Of course it makes no sense.

 

[Samamba]

Uijtdebroeks dropped too I think

 

[Netserk]

Uijtdebroeks dropped too I think

Yep, together with Martinez.

1.1 merchant robbed Bahrain

 

[Salvarani]

Gaudu at home "he is just like me"

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

It's Ineos. Of course it makes no sense.

Reduce the group of domestiques for pidcock to attack on the downhill? Bernal to just sit in the wheels and attack on the final climb... reality is a different situation though. If you don't have the legs, you don't have the legs.

No Bahrain absolutely *** the bed themselves if it doesn't pay off. Who the fk pays 6M for 3 years for someone who hasn't even won in the WT yet or top 10ed a GT. That's on them.

He will get better obviously but I doubt he will ever be able to battle for a GT win.

 

[Salvarani]

Bernal the definition of class is permanent.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Happy days for Netserk. Unfortunately, Keldermerckx isn't looking too hot either

I will take Skjelmose blowing up again.

As far as I know his contract is just over 2 million euros for three years and not per year. Still a bad contract.

Lmao same.

Rooting for Slovenia tomorrow as well?

Well yeah that's why I said 6 for 3 years. Its. 1.5M first year, 2M 2nd year, 2.5 3rd year (no idea why it's basically the same). Still way too much for what he's proven and absolutely the problem with cycling nowadays.

 

[Netserk]

Don't really care much about football, but the current Danish national team and our trainer deserve absolutely no support. I hope he'll get fired asap. I will cheer for Italy in the games they'll play, maybe the Netherlands too.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Wouldn't mind Ineos controlling this if they were making things harder than they are actually doing, because this is a fairly big group for being this far up a climb of this difficulty.

 

[Rou]

Brian Smith and Kirby talking nonsense again. Do they really have no clue what Ineos' plan is?

 

[xuziqiangnuctech@outlook.]

Yep, together with Martinez.

So Isaac Del Toro is even better than Cian and Lenny on GC as a domestique, and best U21 rider is Matthew Riccitello with no doubt.

 

[noob]

I have heard the commentators saying UAE wasn't interested in this stage but I never believed it

Yeah, I thought they would ride harder if the point was to make it harder race prior to the final climb. I guess by pulling they are keeping a stage win in play, even though they wouldn’t be favored to win against UAE here.

Not liking the current Italian team's chances, tbh.
But usually they do better when they have a hard group and underperform in an easy one.

Back to the race, Staune-Mittet looks like the real deal.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

First time all season Staune-Mittet has actually looked good, shame for him it's on a stage that he won't get anything out of.
