    Love the Swiss descents. They can take risks as the surface is so great and there are no cliff drops.

    Cheers for links. I'm at work now on this poor computer without flash and stuff so the streams don't work.

    Edit: Found this exellent stream which works. And is without that incredibly annoying commentator from yesterday.

    Pinot cant even hold the wheel.

    Mollema valiant as he has now increased his gain by another few seconds.

    That Sagan can hold the wheels up that ascent when some good names were dropped is amazing. Top quality rider.

    They should give Sky and ProConti licence. Would make the racing much more interesting all year.

    Very impressive by Sagan. Brave effort by Mollema.

    Couldn't see who lost the wheel on the descent. Would be interested to know who it was.

    Cheers for the link ThomThom ... Quality of the feed was excellent (hopefully working tomorrow) ...

    Just in time to see everyone else say 'f*** it, Pete's gonna win anyway' ...

    I`m out lads. Have a good evening. Those that missed it, definitely watch the highlights or last 30km if you can find it.

    I've probably said this before but every stage should have a descent. If not directly to the finish then close to it. A proper descent that is.

    Well done Frenchie for trying to breathe life into a non-Sky dominated race thread.
    You would think that the Tour de Suisse is some obscure backwater event.
    Sagan certainly making up for his muted effort at the 4th GT.
    At this rate he'll be hogging all the jerseys at next year's TDF.

  • What happened to Ryder? Anyone see his spill? If so, from what you saw did it look like he'll be back in time for the Tour?

    I can't believe his bad luck

    No TV coverage makes it difficult to get into. Ridiculous situation.
