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

[SafeBet]

I would really like to know what happened tp fortunato yesterday. He really had chances to finish top 5 here with his advantage

He can't keep his shape forever. He was already close to peak in Romandie and started fading in the third week of the Giro.
He could still get a good result from a break, but won't be easy.

I was surprised to see Bilbao lose that much time yesterday after he had looked decent in the first stages. He didn't exactly fly during the Giro, so you wouldn't expect him to be past his peak shape by now. It is of course possible that he, after he was dropped, decided to switch focus to stage hunting, and him winning today would definitely be the best possible scenario. However it will hard for the break to succeed, and he won't be the favourite even if it actually does.

Probably saved himself yesterday after feeling that the win was not within reach anymore, especially as this is a Gino Mäder memorial stage. No idea if every team went to the scene where he lost his life this morning, but Bahrain definitely did.

But yes, will be a tough ask to win, especially not at particularly good shape.

It also seems like 9 out of 10 people trying to stack Dauphiné/Suisse on top of the Giro collapse spectacularly anyway. Romandie in addition to that is crazy, so we should definitely cut him some slack.

Suddenly my Eurosport has an English commentator sounding like Kelly

Riding in the bunch on a flat should not be dependent on that. If he would have faded on the climb i get you, but not like it went yesterday

Almeida says he wants to wait for the last climb. Boooh!

Alaphilippe patting him when passing. Forgot they used to be teammates. The first cyclists I liked.

After yesterday people might forget that he was always riding conservatively, but in his own way

NASCAR Simmons tried to sneak into the break again and the peloton said “no more”. Too much freedom and awesomeness for one week.

So of all the names to call Simmons, why "NASCAR?"

Those images with all the hairpins live

Froome sighting! Still looking at his stem.

Froome dropped late enough for the cameras to catch him!
5th incoming!

I do love a big climb and then you arrive at a lake.

The beauty of this place

2'17", maybe it will grow until 2'45" but this will be a GC day with another Almeida's win.

 

[Potomac]

So I guess every Swiss rider is assigned his own moto-camera bike and allotted a certain percentage of on air time.

 

[Squire]

Has Carlton had a few today?

 

[Peyroteo94]

Switzerland really looks like the second most beautiful country in the world. Wonderful landscapes!

The fear of falling off that damm

Le sigh how pretty

How will Almeida be able to take back so much time if he waits to the last climb?

How will Almeida be able to take back so much time on the last climb?

Run like Froome on Ventoux.

I think he should attack on the first passage of the climb. But maybe he thinks if he goes nuclear on the last climb+whatever is extra to take all the time he needs before the TT.

Don't worry. UAE will kill them all before the last climb.

It sounds like it would be maybe too little, but we'll see

I can see the train is set up but we'll see
