Tour de Suisse stage 7: Savognin - Wetzikon 204.1km

[auscyclefan94]

Nice team-work by BMC, Evans could have used some of this. It really looks like BMC is getting stronger the longer the season goes on

lotto could not do that. "BMC were dynamite! BMC we'll win the fight!"

Burghardt's advantage is growing again. If the chase doesn't start sorting themselves out soon then he isn't going to be caught.

Sanchez will catch him. 50 seconds down. It's between the 2, I reckon.

Burgi is really really strong. I doesn't matter if he wins the stage today, but it will be fun to watch him at the Tour de France. Perhaps he can show something at the Paris-Roubaix stage.
He's even going the same speed than Sanchez

 

[Jamsque]

Sanchez will catch him. 50 seconds down. It's between the 2, I reckon.

I didn't realise he was in the gap, my stream had no time stamps for a while there. He is slowly making his way across, you are right.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Burghy looks solid! What a great team! LLS will make up time on the climb.

 

[Faserr]

Frank is having a nice ride. I think he can win today with a strong attack at the last climb.

 

[auscyclefan94]

CN said Ballan had a mechanical?

Go Franky! He is looking solid! LLS is dying! Come on Burghy!

 

[Faserr]

Sanchez is fading a bit.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Burghy is getting AWAY! GO BURHGY!!!!!!!!

BMC HAVE TO COME TO FORM AT THE RIGHT TIME!

 

[Mellow Velo]

Sanchez can't catch Burghardt. Unbelievable.
He's going to pull off a 60km Landis-like solo.

 

[auscyclefan94]

FRANK! What are you doing?!!!

no, the right time would have been the giro.

 

[Faserr]

I think one of the BMC guys wins it today. Perhaps Frank can destroy the attacks on the last climb by hanging on.
Frank has also a good winning chance if he stays attentive.

That's a bit over the top!

 

[auscyclefan94]

That was the C team in.

Did you see the acceleration by Frank? I knew this guy was a star of the future when I saw him in the dauphine last year. He's a top climber!

boring stage

boring stage

I am finding it excellent. It shows that BMC are not a 1 man team. It has been attacking and exciting.

Franky is saving the legs like he did yesterday!

boring stage

+1
Boring race, except for the few kms of yesterday's finale.
UK Eurosport commentators mentioning the Lance man, every couple of minutes.
He's going to take a minute from Bobby Gesink in the ITT, don't you know....
Terrible.
Even worse than the Dauphine.

All this training.

It is bmc's home race

It was Phonak's home race, before that....................oh wait.

 

[Rocksteady]

Freire running out of legs. Back on the group now but hurting.
