Tour de Suisse 2024, June 9 - 16

[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.

Finally

 

[Netserk]

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

 

[Squire]

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.

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?

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

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

 

[Netserk]

Both Del Toro and Christen are back in the group.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

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

The second part isn't technical at all, though, if you were planning on doing anything with the pace you were setting it's too late now. Especially with UAE regrouping now.

 

[SafeBet]

Lol Ineos.

 

[Samamba]

So you pace all day hard to then just stop and let everyone recover?

 

[Eyeballs Out]

The neutral service team has disappeared from the front

 

[Squire]

So you pace all day hard to then just stop and let everyone recover?

Spent kilojoules are still spent kilojoules. Bernal (and possibly Pidcock) probably wants a hard race.

 

[Netserk]

I think it was worth a shot and the right way to approach it, and then you check the result of it and go from there. Rivera is now better saved for the last climb in this situation.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

I mean, if they plan to make the day hard, then pacing the descent just means people do upper zone 1 instead of lower zone 1 while your team is killing itself at the front. I don‘t think this makes people magically recover.

'Go Marc! We could lose 50 UCI points if we don't win this stage'

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Staune - Mittet looks like he's got places to be

 

[Valv.Piti]

'Go Marc! We could lose 50 UCI points if we don't win this stage'

Ofc they are trying to win the stage? What would be the point of not trying to do that?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Beautiful descent

 

[Netserk]

He's right. As long as the chasers are filmed from the front, so should the attacker.
