Tour de Suisse, Stage 3: Sierre-Schwarzenburg

[Jamsque]

Everyone is over the climb, and the break has 15 minutes on the pack. 15 minutes in 100km is not impossible for the peloton to pull back, but they will have to ride hard.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

British Eurosport live coverage has started. The whole Omega Pharma Lotto team is on the front and it looks like they will bring the break back for Gilbert. Gap down to 7:20 with 57k left

Doers anyone have a stream for this because these guys on the Belgian television are starting to get on my nerves.

 

[Gotland]

Löfkvist is going to win today just before Rodriguez and Gilbert.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gesink is testing himself by the looks of it. Pulling all the time

[Moose McKnuckles]

Freire has attacked and is chasing Sanchez!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

1. F Schleck
2. Uran
3. Mollema

Also Gesink, Armstrong in the 2nd group (mollema)

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Saxo rocked that stage. Andy looked after Cancellara and paced him back to the sharp end of the race.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Good attack by Urán in the closing stages. I don't think he'd have caught Fränk in the closing sprint, but it could have been close. Unfortunately, the street was very narrow, and Rigo showed some very un-Colombian bike handling skills to regain balance after clipping the barriers... as a result he had to settle for second.

 

[Gotland]

4. S. Morabito
5. M. Carrara
6. J.M Garate
7. R. Gesink
8. T Löfkvist
9. N. Roche
10. T. Martin

All 3 seconds behind Uran and F. Schleck

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kreuziger lost 2 minutes

 

[maltiv]

N Roche attacking too early all day every day

 

[The Hitch]

How did Uran stay on his bike. Are these bikes specialy built with this sort of crash prevention in mind?

[TRDean]

Kreuziger lost 2 minutes

WOW!! Additionally, Mollema looking strong.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Shock sighting of BMC rider who isn't C.Evans

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yeah, stronger than Gesink.

Mollema looks like one of those riders who really 'explode' after their first GT.

 

[Faserr]

Gesink finished strong, too, after he lost a lot of enegery attacking in the last 15km.

 

[Christian]

Ain't nothing better than coming home from a nice exhausting bike ride, throwing on the live stream and watching Fränk Schleck kill it at the TdS.

 

[theyoungest]

Yeah, stronger than Gesink.

Mollema looks like one of those riders who really 'explode' after their first GT.

Not really stronger, a little bit smarter maybe. Which isn't a bad thing.

 

[Delicato]

2 minutes? Kreuziger is only 0.44 down in GC.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Not really stronger, a little bit smarter maybe. Which isn't a bad thing.

Yeah, but Mollema is here with a different goal. He really wants to ride for the GC

Gesink is just testing himself for the Tour and doesn't care about waisting some energy here and there.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

2 minutes? Kreuziger is only 0.44 down in GC.

I beg your pardon?
