Cyclingnews strikes again

Classics specialist Flecha (who will laugh about this weather) is the best-placed rider in the group. He is currently 27th behind yellow jersey Robert Gesink (Rabobank), at 8'24" - but isn't going to steal the overall lead from a team-mate... or would he??
Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    Unbelievable! My inner chimp could write better copy.

    It's strong looking breakaway group though. I fancy this one to last.

    FFS

    But it's not enoughfor Mark Renshaw (Sky), who attacks out of the breakaway! He gets a gap, about 17 seconds

    LA pulled cyclingnews up over typos, and while it ain't cool to agree with him, I've seen quite a lot of typos in features and race reports that they should have seen. I'm not perfect but I'm not the biggest most well known cycling website

    The response to Lance was a thing of beauty though.

    I don't mind typo's, but they've said riders are in the wrong teams 3 times in 2 days now.

    middle of June and the weather in Switzerland is terrible... Feel sorry for these guys, long fingered gloves, hats under helmets... Today there is snow down to 1700m, so if yesterdays stage were held today they would've encountered snow on all the climbs

    Didn't watch but sounds like an interesting end to the race again. Congratulations to Marcus - two good wins.

    CVV crashed on the descent but was unhurt. Lief Hoste crashed twice - the 2nd time it looked quite bad:
