Tour de Suisse 2024, June 9 - 16

[Unchained]

Is there a TV coverage schedule? I can't find anything but an Italian network and I get 2 things of RAI and it's never got sports. I get Claro, ESPN, Bein and a couple of others but I got a bad feeling

Tour de Suisse Stage 6 Shortened

And a 4.8 TT may not have to do laundry at these distances!!

By @ammattipyoraily:

The initial stage design was quite bad already. Sankt Gotthard & Furkapass would've been an improvement actually. Now the stage is kinda obsolete.

If at least it was a 1 big climb 50k stage like the 2009 Blockhaus stage at the Giro d'Italia!

Are you guys hyped for watching the zillionth TT this year where all the GC riders start early? I‘m not.
Edit: Lucky for us, Del Toro, Pidcock and Carapaz at least wait for the first minutes of the broadcast.

I need to make myself President for Life of the UCI!
Broadcasting requirements for WT/WWT races:

1. Must have live coverage in at least 50 countries.
2. Coverage must be full-race. Special permission can be given to have the first part to be through streams on social media, though proper coverage cannot start with less than 100 Ks to go.

Suisse race is always the one WT race you can’t watch in Australia. Frustrating

Was it the Malaysian race they used to start at the bottom of one (quite long ) climb as a mass start. Was like 25km lol

Time for a new rule:

To deal with that, I'd propose that organisers not only decide the order of teams, but make a rule that decides the order of riders. That could be in order of their UCI ranking.

If so, the order from last rider would be:

[...]

In addition, I'd have the defending winner start last if present.

The Genting stage in Langkawi has usually had normal stage length, if I'm not mistaken.

You might be thinking about the Tour of Japan, which often has had very, very short Mt. Fuji stages, sometimes just the climb itself.

Wasn't that a .1 or 2 race on Mount Fuji?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Bonus points for the first 35km being like -2% average meaning riders come in absurdly fresh and we can have a beautiful bazooka of watts, from which to obviously determine that either Pogacar should be shitting himself or maybe just maybe W/kg estimates aren't the most important thing ever

Is that Laurens Ten Dam's mugshot!?

Scared the *** out of me he looks like a serial killer

And then there was the time he went to the finish line looking like this:

Race doctor: Yeah. That'll do it. You're fine!

True, I don’t know much about the Asian races. Fuji probably sounds about right

Could also be the Taiwan KOM Challenge.

Stage is underway, with Almeida currently on the lead. Apparently it's still dry, but this could change later on

Lampaert should probably win with that time

SRF's coverage started early to show the Swiss favourites. It's actually more technical than I thought.

 

[RedheadDane]

TV2 forgetting to switch the coverage from Dauphine.

 

[kingjr]

Did del Toro crash?

 

[Landeirovic]

Did del Toro crash?

Yes or Mechanical

 

[titan31]

Ya, was wondering what happened there. That's a terrible time

 

[titan31]

I'm already done with Kirby. This is horrific

 

[wirral]

Lampaert should probably win with that time

 

[RedheadDane]

Can I conclude that this perhaps not quite accurate?

Preliminary results at T1

#	Rider	Time	+	Avg
1	STEHLI Félix	1.16,89		46.820
2	LAMPAERT Yves	1.17,90	0.01,01	46.213
3	BISSEGGER Stefan	1.18,53	0.01,64	45.842

Official site has that too so I'd say it might be right.
