Tour de Suisse

['Dale]

That descent to the finish in the wet was hectic...

The leaders went down there at nearly 90 km/h.

 

Yoh yoh

So today is a super flat sprinters stage. Another one for Peter Sagan or could our boy Daryl Impey perhaps have a go on this one?

Anyone going to try stream it tonight on the Zattoo link below

Let me know if it works from SA

So stage 4 was indeed one for the sprinters with Arnaud Démare of FDG out-sprinting Matthew Goss, Tyler Farrar and John Degenkolb. Peter Sagan was 7th.

 

I seriously (and somewhat unbiasedly) think Orica GreenEDGE should back Impey instead of Goss for a few stages in Le Tour. Goss seems a specialist second or third placed finisher.

[Wez-O]

Also I know this might be hard to believe, BUT... Jens Voigt was is the breakaway yesterday!!! He was only caught while on a solo attack with just under 2km to go. The peloton were helped by the fact that both Voigt and his breakaway partner Robert Vrečer had to stop for a level crossing within the last 10km.

[Wez-O]

Alexander Kristoff outsprints Peter Sagan in stage 5.

Once again Goss fails in the sprint and his South African lead out man Impey takes 10th.

 

More importantly though, Tejay van Garderen is up to 9th in the GC, just 1:39 behind the yellow jersey holder Mathias Frank. The toughest mountain stage comes on Saturday where the GC could be decided.

Damn that's just bad Jens luck.....

Sagan mistiming his sprint and misfiring a bit.

 

He's so spectacular that 2nd in yesterday's stage is just 'not good enough'.
