Tour de Suisse, Stage 1 Saturday, June 9 7.3 km Lugano

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Well, he actually did better on the way down, than on the way up somehow. Was 19th, finished 12(13???) th

Not bad. He has done a lot of bad short tts in the past, hard to call. I think his priority would be limiting his damage in the two longer ones anyway.

But yeh he just returned from altitude training so I'm not sure hell be too great tomorrow either, well see.

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Yay, No Carlton Kirby.

Does anyone know how fast they'd be going on the descent?

[Delicato]

Isn't Anthony McCrossan the guy who was commentating on Cycling.tv 5-6 years ago?

But the problem is he can't descend at all.

Let's see how much time he loses on the descent

 

[screaming fist]

He did an okay prologue last year - about 40 seconds on Cance I think

Decent time by schleck, not so crap like his bro.

Tough corner there. Don't want another ITT crash.

 

[webvan]

Worse descent than Gesink for FS.

 

[spalco]

Alright, ok time by Schleck, apparently he was actually trying.

 

[roundabout]

There are 140 meters of climbing so it's more a GC rider course

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Frank beats Frank.

 

[dlwssonic]

Yeah Frank beats Frank!

At least frank schleck gives a **** unlike andy

Yeah Frank beats Frank!

At least frank schleck gives a **** unlike andy

Andy is either injured (knee from before the crash) or just, I hate to say it , "playing possum."
