Onto the Tour of Switzerland now - half of the peleton had just been held up at a level crossing, so many arguments about what happens next.
Aha, commisars have put a car at the head of the first peleton group and are stopping them from racing so that the second group can catch up, paced by motorbikes. Meanwhile there are 3 guys 8 minutes down the road, so looks like their lucky day. |

New definition of unlucky = turning up to a race and seeing Peter Sagan's name on the start list.
Would have liked to see Sagan have a crack at the overall though. He can climb and that would have been interesting |

Sagan v Cav at the tour could be very interesting.
Would have liked to see Sagan have a crack at the overall though. He can climb and that would have been interesting is he a serious contender ? 'the boys' were suggesting that he might need to lose weight and change his training regime before he could be a grand tour contender...........I suppose similar to Wiggo |

Not sure if this is better for the tour. Andy had to attack as he can't TT. Not sure we will get the same explosive attacks from Wiggo or Evans, although cuddles is a bit more exciting since his world champs win

Decisive stage of the TdSuisse today with better recorded coverage of the stage than the pitiful 4.5km last night.
Are we starting a separate Tour thread? Otherwise, I think this one needs an amended title. The bookies have got it down as a Evans v Wiggins ITT play-off with everyone else ranked as outsiders. |

At least there's decent highlights tonight.............the ES1 highlights clash with the football but ES2 has them scheduled for 5.30 Ideally we'd stay here for the Tour but you know full well that other threads will be started...........I suppose we could have a gentlemans agreement amongst the 'regulars' to stay here and maybe post links to this thead in the newbie threads ? |

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/oth...-ZLM-Toer.html According to this, he is targetting the Green Jersey and the Olympics more than individual sprint stage wins. |
