Coming past your front door SwissVan ??

Hey Poppit, no not this Romandie thing, they stay in the Romanisch part.

But in tiny Switzerland it’s never far away, you want to come watch ????

 

Last 2 years the tour de Suisse started in our home dorp.... that’s where I touched Sagan ????

Very good aggressive racing .

 

Nice to see Richie Porte and Egan Bernal back and both looking relatively good after the misfortune they suffered lately.

 

Looking forward to see the uphill time trial tomorrow.  It is 10 km’s at about 8 %-  more or less the equivalent of doing 6 Suikerbossies in a row at a near redline effort  :eek:

I Hope Kudus can do a good ride up the climb.

 

DD need the World Tour points and if he does well here he should be ok in the GC.

Egan ????????????

 

If a TT can glue my eyes to the screen, it has to be about 10 kms at more than 7% gradient somewhere in some gorgeous Alps.

 

What a ride by the 21 year old ????

Geraint Thomas..... POOF! Blew like a cheap head gasket!!

 

At least he has not as yet crashed or suffered some other misfortune during this race which for him is quite an achievement.

The WorldTour meets Egan

What blistering attacks yesterday by 21 year old

 

Reminiscent of 'Berto and his daring style of racing.

This guy has it all....a super climber who can time trial and descend.. also not scared to attack and even to try and contest the sprints... and apparently he has also an amazingly high VO 2  max score..

 

The question is now how do Team Sky develop him...... this is already the third time since he has joined  them that he became team leader during a race by showing he is stronger then the original leader.

 

Do they let him loose in a grand tour or do they wait till he is a bit older?
