Tour de Suisse 2012

[Christie]

Sounds like a very very interesting stage today. Good riding by Schleck, Leipheimer and Gesink, one of them could win it tomorrow.

Schleck looks to be shaping up well for the tdf, but his TT is still poor - that won't improve for the tour.

Leipheimer is climbing wel, but his TT is not up to his usual standard.

['Dale]

Yeah, thought so too with Schleck and Levi rumbling up the GC.

 

Some light at the end of the tunnel for RadioShack Nissan Trek.

Also like Albasini's fighting spirit.

A real good recruit for GreenEdge.

Movistar's Costa clinches top spot possibly making their TdF GC strategy a bit tricky with both Valverde and Cobo in the mix.

 

RNT's Schleck also showing good character despite all the chaos in his team, trying to pull back 14 secs on Costa.

 

Sounds like the final stage was very good and tense racing.

Cute, but Valverde is never in his wildest dreams a TDF contender. Oh, and Costa has spent his bullets.

I watched most it on a German channel via cyclingfans, had the Cyclenews ticker going in English as well.

 

What scenery! hurts the eyes, so beautiful. Rui da Costa did well to hold on to the yellow jersey all the way on the it seems, Frank, Levi couldn't get free, although Frank managed to do so for a while today on the last climb but was reeled back in.

I am in switzerland on holiday, was at the start of the last stage, was lucky to get the autograph of the yellow and green jersey guys,they all look in good shape for the tdf , and they are really thin. The scenery is out of this world

Yeah, I agree about Valverde.

Cobo is their best bet if Movistar can limit the damage in the ITT.
