Okay so I see there is no topic on this world tour race that began on Sunday in Switzerland.

There are big names on show including Sagan, Cancellara, Visconti, Costa, Schleck, Voigt, Boonen, Hesjedal, Pinot, Gilbert, Van Garderen and our very own Impey.

 

The favourates must surely be Van Garderen and Hesjedal.

 

Stage 1 was an Individual TT / Prologue that was won by Cameron Meyer the Aussie from Orica-GreenEDGE.

Stage 2, stage two was a mountainous stage won by Bauke Mollema the Dutch rider from Team Blanco.

 

 

Stage 3 is also fairly "bumpy" (an intermediate stage). Perhaps one for the breakaway but with the overall time gaps being rather small there is a good chance the peloton won't let any breakaways get too far up the road.

 

The current GC is as follows:

1 Cameron Meyer (AUS) - Orica-GreenEDGE

2 Ryder Hesjedal (CAN) - Garmin-Sharp + 3"

3 Mathias Frank (SUI) - BMC + 5"

4 Giovanni Visconti (ITA) - Movistar + 12"

5 Thibaut Pinot (FRA) - FDJ + 16"

A combination of the terrain, the pace and some aggressive riding has seen a group of 17 break free from the peloton. Boonen, Gilbert, Kelderman, Albasini and Elmiger are among those in the lead.

Sagan takes the sprint quite easy

Looked like quite a trick descent to the finish and being wet did not help

 

Late finish, wonder why?

 

Mathias Frank the new GC leader i believe

Well easy by Sagan standards, only watched the decsent so have no idea how much he bled b4 that.

 

I've got a link to a swiss site on my work computer that lets users stream all the swiss tv stations for free, i'll post it tomorrow. Just not sure if it will work if your ip is from outside switz but will be worth trying as all you have to do is register and supply an email address for a password.
