Tour de Suisse 2025 - Men's (June 15- June 22)

Meanwhile, the Battle of the Christens:

6	CHRISTEN Jan	UAE Team Emirates - XRG
7	CHRISTEN Fabio	Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team

Why is Jan Christen riding for himself? Almeida clearly the strongest, but yeah...

Because he's a protected rider for his home race.
Gall way more active than expected, actually positioned well during the final 20kms, attacking on that uphill drag and finishing 9th in an uphill sprint.

Peleton was more concerned with the GC than trying to win the stage.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Lol, Almeida leading himself out and still winning the sprint.

 

[dgodave]

[[Content deleted]] he's always been one of the most entertaining riders to watch, and a great team-mate. After a few tough years, he seems to mentally stronger this season. [[content deleted]]

EDIT.... But he is quite a fighting rider, which is fun to watch. Plus hes a local guy here.

OOPS I see a politics warning came in since I wrote this. Will edit

Uae loves to do this protected crap. Very nice that Mcnulty rode top 10 gc in the giro!

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Super strong Simmons - very tough to win from the break on a finish like this without many minutes in hand

Christen attacking is not necessarily a disadvantage for Almeida, who can then sit in the wheels. After all he's not a born attacker himself.

 

[search]

good win indeed. I also didn't see too much hesitation in the peloton today. Simmons was just the best.

 

[pastronef]

grande Quinn!!!!!

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Is almida aware that he's over 3 minutes down? Someone needs to sticks a microphone in front of Ben o'conner immediately!!

if christen would have pulled the peloton, almeida would have won the stage.....

 

[will-10]

if christen would have pulled the peloton, almeida would have won the stage.....

...or not. We'll never know

Yeah sure.

Morgado said he wants to fight for the Tour in the future, but he seems to be a worse climber every year.

 

[scribers]

not a hard enough climb to be an authentic GC day

 

[Ulfhednar]

Great ride by Quinn. Really strong! Very happy for him. Such a fun character to have in the peloton.

 

[Potomac]

Bart Lemmen is going to win the GC!

 

[Potomac]

Quinn Simmons has saved Lidl-Trek's season.

 

[jmdirt]

I love it when a break from a break ends up on top of the box!

How much do you think he could lose against Almeida in the time trial?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Funny thing to do after these stages is check the UAE twitter account, Fabio, Joao, Afonso and Pedro are not best pleased with some of the cycling going on out there.

That is ugly, like a train wreck. So I can't look away.

My post was a bit of fun. I know Lemmen is a favorite with some other posters here.
