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

[Mayomaniac]

Gall is getting better after coming into this race straight from the altitude training camp. Guys like him, Ala and Kämna seem to be getting better by the day.

 

[Squire]

Kämna might even end up 5th in GC in the end, he's resurrected it seems! Wonderful to see!

Yeah, his comeback is my favourite thing about this Tour de Suisse!

Nah, Gall is still behind him. Van Wilder and Riccitello are still within reach as well

 

[Rou]

By the way what are O'Connor's goals for the Tour? Stage wins?

wow if ALmedia didnt waste all that energy yesterday he could have took another 4 seconds

He’s not making the mistake of carrying that heavy ass trophy monstrosity again

Each time commentators mention Santa Maria it brings this bop to mind:

By the way what are O'Connor's goals for the Tour? Stage wins?

Sprint stages, a TT stage, the rest will be controlled by UAE and Visma. Maybe the break get 1 or 2. Hard to target stages these days unless you're an elite sprinter or elite puncheur, and Pog's the best of those too.

Almeida rude to Onley?

The most used phrase by cyclists: "It is what it is"

Or "for sure". You know a rider has arrived on the WT scene when he includes "for sure" in an interview.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Almeida rude to Onley?

When? I missed it

 

[noob]

When? I missed it

Just before the Gall interview. Onley going to Almeida and Almeida takes his hand but still looks pissed. (Obviously not with Onley but with himself)

 

[pastronef]

I'm so happy for Onley. grinding and never letting go. deserved win!

 

[scribers]

I feel like they’ve emptied out some attic for podium prizes this race

 

[Pippo_San]

Joao definitely finding a sweet spot. One week races winner/contender, super domestique and possible contender in Grand Tours.
GG to Joao. 🍬

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Sometimes I'm still a noob to cycling, I didn't know they gave out black jerseys to points leaders in the Tour de Suisse. Do they do it in other races?

Bilbao getting some wine and wine glasses for his efforts today - nice!

Same. It's such a weird jersey choice

Not Bilbao's wine prize though, it might actually be worth something to wine collectors.

There’s always some goodies in there!

It's kind of grim, isn't it?

Forgot to have a look at the weather forecast this week and woke up in baking heat and a headache having foolishly left all the windows closed overnight despite it raining all day yesterday. Things were getting better but seeing Almeida in that ridiculous black jersey looking like he's dying in the sunlight wasn't helping. How about something white for next time lads, maybe a light pink or something.

You don't think the cowbells are worth something to collectors (humans/cattle)?

back with the pastel jersey fashion again, if I had any say.
