Tour de Suisse 2024, June 9 - 16

[Netserk]

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

I will take Skjelmose blowing up again.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

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.

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.

 

[Netserk]

Good situation for Pidcock to attack.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

After all the gushing by Kirby and Smith about Hayter's pace, Rivera drops more people in 30 seconds than Hayter did in 30 minutes.

 

[Netserk]

Del Toro is still there at the back of the group.

 

[Sciatic]

After all the gushing by Kirby and Smith about Hayter's pace, Rivera drops more people in 30 seconds than Hayter did in 30 minutes.

Finally

 

[Netserk]

Del Toro dropped. Perfect for Pidcock to attack over the top and bomb the descent.

He has looked good in other races where it also didn't count for a result in the end.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This has been one bad race for the hypetrains, all three of Del Toro, Martinez and Uijtdebroeks will be disappointed with the way their GC has gone.

 

[Netserk]

Christen dropped too. C'mon, Pidders!

 

[postmanhat]

Pidcock not really going for it unfortunately it seems.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

So Ineos' masterplan was... to have Pidcock pace the descent with Yates in third wheel?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Del Toro had dom duties, Uijtdebroeks comes back from a pneumonia. It's especially Martinez i expected more of.

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

Descent in two parts....it's a long one.

 

[Netserk]

Both Del Toro and Christen are back in the group.
