    Your not a big fan of this race Blazing? They cant go foot to the floor every day. I'm sure you can admit that two of the stages this race have been amazing?

    Dan Martin not happy with the road book. The climb today no where near as hard as they expected and they weren't able to get anything launched.

    Millar has been describing this as a epic race....maybe they're just done in?

    Can't really comment as I haven't watched any of it...

    Stage 3 and stage 7. I posted a link to the last 25km of each. Worth a watch. Proper racing.

    I was under the same impression. According to a "homer" on CN, it was suppose to be this:
    116_175_gradient_600_450.gif

    2kms at 9.9% with a 12% section.

    FF: No, I'm not a great fan of this race in recent years, much like Romandie.
    I think they have become too Fabian orientated; designing courses top heavy in trialing and mountains used more for backdrop, than selecting the GC.

    Today, we had the Jungfaupass inside the first 40kms, a long, long descent into a pan flat industrialized valley that was endless, a mad dash through Lichtenstein to a climb ideal for getting rid of the proper sprinters...........
    ...........before a finish designed for a proper sprint.

    Two really great stages and the rest, pretty meh. That's at least two stages better than a lot of races so far this year. And we still don't know who will win the GC which makes a nice change. I'd give it a 6 out of 10.

    Team Sky telling it how it was.

    Team Sky came to the fore but missed out as stage eight ended in a sprint at #TdSuisse. Check out the report: http://po.st/Suisse8

    Ben Swift was their best placed finisher in 63rd @ 1.04.
