Tour de Suisse Stage 3 Preview

 

2022 Tour de Suisse - STAGE 3 Preview & Predictions


Stage 2 Review

Andreas Leknessund deserves all the credit for his win, but the fact that a full charging peloton could not catch him, will give ideas to baroudeurs in the coming stages. Alberto Bettiol taking the main group sprint in comical manner, is honesly a good news for him after some troubling months

If you have missed the action today, you can rewatch the whole stage freely: here!


Stage 3 Profile 








 



The tough Cote du Bouvier, situated after 80 km will have little or no impact on the race. Only Sagan could be dropped. What follows is 120 km of up and down with 2 3rd categorised climb a 2nd categorised one. 



Predictions

It starts with an ascent and this will favour those who want to form a break-away. Quinn Simmons will try to get in it as there are many KOM points today. Thomas De Gendt, Moscon and Bettiol are other who will like to have a chance. Honestly, I think all teams will try to send a man. 


Given 10 stars, this is how I would use it: 

★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ : Albert Bettiol - Seems in good form and would love to take a victory to amend for being laughed at. 

★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ : Stephen Küng - If he is left in the break away, he will whine down everyone little by little. 

★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ :
Quinn Simmons - Being in the break is a must for and his power can gives hope to aim for more. 

★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆: Silvain Moniquet - A good punchy rider rider who never fear being in a break-away. 

★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ : Alexander Kristoff - If his team manages to somehow roll in the break-away, he will be the one to beat. 

★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ : Brent Van Moer - A sneaky little devil that can defy the peloton; he did it and can do it again.
