Tour de Suisse starts today, coincidently in my home town Baar (Zug). Prolog and Stage 1 start and in finish there :thumbup: Unfortunately the weather is not looking good for the weekend with a good chance of rain.

 

Last night we went to the team rider presentation and managed to get some pictures of the riders before they went into the overcrowded presentation tent.

 

Most popular riders by far were Cancellera and Sagan

The riders were each presented with a box of  Merci chocolates during the team presentation and Christian Knees on climbing into the Sky team bus was heard to say to someone in the bus "who likes chocolate..." so we shouted yes we do... he came back out the bus and gave these to my wife :thumbup:

Very cool prentjies

 

Rui Costa for the win, again?

Or will Tejay roll him over

 

Big ride for Spartacus - his last edition

Cancellara has a huge advantage with the crowd support he gets, it's loud enough to give you goosebumps. Will be interesting to see how long he can stay in yellow.

 

Not sure who can win but if I was to bet I'd put my money on Geraint Thomas and Frank Schleck as an outside bet.... Schleck is looking very lean and takes the award for the rider with the least body fat
