Tour De Suisse 2022 Stage 7 preview

Tour De Suisse 2022 stage 7 preview

Stage 6 recap:

Enough has been said about the withdrawals and we know that we will be hearing more. The breakaway took a logical win given the lack of riders in the peloton to pull back.

Stage 7:

By now, we know what is the greatest threat to all riders. The number of riders who will be at the start is expected to be less than the 87 riders and that also if the race will continue.

Had the circumstances been different, we would have had a real treat: Nevertheless, it will be a spectacle if the race is allowed to go on.

Au menu, 4 catégorized climb along 194 km. 
The Lukmanierpass is the first of the day coming after the first 34 downhill  kilometres.

With a total of 18km of ascent, this will be the terrain for the breakaway to be formed. However due to the decreased number of riders and teammates, it seems more likely that the leading group will be that of the main general classification contenders.

The final climb leading to the finish is a Goliath thing. 12 km of mostly over 9%, it ends with the final 500m at 13.1%! Really impressive.

Predictions: Brave is the one who  can predict who will be the first passing the line, even braver will it be to predict if and who will be at the start.

5 stars distributions:

★★★☆☆ ; Thibault Pinot : he came here with the clear ambition of taking a stage win and preparing himself for the tour. Free of any expectation, he will shine.

★★☆☆☆: Sergio Higuita : Had Vlasov still been in the race, he would have had more freedom. The Colombian however is one the few pure climbers left in Switzerland.
