Tour de Suisse 2024, June 9 - 16

[noob]

Yates won but it was kinda hilarious 😂

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Yates said hello to a beautiful white dog after the race, was it an American Eskimo?

Edit: apparently it actually might be a Samoyed - beautiful, fluffy dog either way.

How often have riders failed while trying to gift a win and accidentally took it themselves? Not that that happened here but almost looked like it.

 

[Miha81]

Even more interesting question. Can Riccitello surprise once more and does ITT of his life?

 

[Danskebjerge]

The number of boring races is still high. Not that a UAE one and two is exceptional in itself. But we need more suspense overall.

Age before beauty.

Who's the beauty?

 

[SHAD0W93]

Alright Almeida, just more you can beat down in Adam tomorrow.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Did i hear Pidcock saying 7w/kg for 20 minutes?

 

[Lefebre]

This Almeida guy could have stayed with the Remco and gotten second place in a real GT but he chose this, what a waste.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Who's the beauty?

I am.

I legit can't stop laughing at that duo! When Visma has done it it has not looked that funny!

It looks like his best results in TTs are uphill ones.

Almeida is not able to celebrate a teammate and sell it.

He would be fat by now, so it was a legit move.

UAE swapped the tactics, Almeida went first at 3km to go & Yates followed. The classic two across the line too. Strong of Riccitello for 3rd. How strong were the UAE men though? Yates thinks Almeida will blast away the TT and looks good for the overall GC.

 

[Sciatic]

Will they finally perfect the Giannetti special and celebrate like a duo on the line?

You called it.

 

[Netserk]

Today marked the 150th top-10 in the WT without a victory for Keldermerckx and also his 100th top-10 in WT road races without a victory. Historical moment.

They seriously gotta send him somewhere they know he'll win!

 

[noob]

Is Yates such a horribly bad TT:er that Almeida can take 30 seconds on such a short ITT?? Even if uphill.

But when he finally wins, Keldermania will be running wild, brother!

I guess we'll see tommorow. But Almeida looks stronger to me of the two.

I doubt it especially since Almeida isn’t necessarily climbing better. But would be cool to see

 

[Netserk]

Literally utopia. A place that does not exist.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Literally utopia. A place that does not exist.

They could try sending him to Roubaix. Maybe he would be the only rider incapable of crashing in that race.

Yes and no. It's 18k slightly uphill nothing crazy, but if their form is consistent, Almeida could possibly take back @2+ second per kilometer. Today's finish line interview, Yates said that Joao agreed to let him win the stage. So maybe it's already discussed that Yates has a better chance of holding off a 2 minutes back Bernal. Either way not easy for either guy.
