Tour de Suisse - Stage 1

[Magnus]

I don't know. The live ticker is talking about riders like "Le Belge Stijn Deveninsr"... is that Stijn Devolder or Dries Devenyns?
(I don't know who's in Switzerland for QST, except for Tombo)

According to my feed it's Devenyns.

Alrighty. Thanks both! Think I'll fire up a stream myself.

Devenyns has the fastest time

He did so in dry weather. The favorites all have rain.
Mollema just had the 6th time, he is faster than Leipheimer, while Leipheimer rode in dry weather

Levi has been less than stellar thus far.

Impressive descent by Sagan

 

[saganftw]

sagan first

lol did he catch astana guy in front of him?

 

[maltiv]

Sagan with the new best time by far. This kid is completely nuts.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Weird prologue. How can a non-specialist like Mollema be faster than Rogers, Leipheimer, Kirchen, Devolder and others

 

[tgsgirl]

Is that Nico Mattan I'm listening to? The guy with the worst enunciation in the world is doing commentary?

 

[sublimit]

Sagan much quicker than Larsson so he's doing very well.

It's exqi...what you expect?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Lance far off the pace at the split time

 

[Christian]

armstrong only 28th at intermediate time

Excellent point Too bad Sporza is stretched thin with all this sport going on.

So, Sagan's fastest at the finish, Nicky Roche fastest at time check?

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Lövkvist 4th time

 

[Magnus]

armstrong only 28th at intermediate time

Wasn't Sagan 26th or something like that at that point?

Edit: Or maybe i just read his number ....

 

[sublimit]

decent ride by lovqvuist for Sky.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Armstrong 36th

 

[Christian]

armstrong 36th ... and the best ones still to come

 

[Alpechraxler]

Well i guess Lance did not risk anything on the downhill part. Anyway you can't win the TDS here.

cancellara out next... carrying his own camera man on the back of his bike apparently.

 

[wattage]

Armstrong climbing with that TT bike did not look good at all..he looked awful

It's Sagan time again

CHOO-CHOO all abord the Sagan-express

 

[Christian]

big fabi on his way

Hmm interesting to hear what Lance says after this one. I'll probably be called an apologist but it looked to me (honestly) like he wasn't taking any risks on the slick course.....that being said, does that account for half a minute?
