A LEADOUT

  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 ...

  2022 Tour de Suisse - STAGE 2 Preview & Predictions Stage 1 Review If you have missed the action like me today, you can rewatch the whole stage freely   here! Stage 2 Profile  The day contains a first category 2 climb, followed by a 3rd category one. The last one, Challpasse ends with 14km downhill to the finish.  The Challpass 6.3 km climb is a not the most difficult climb but the last km will be decisive with percentage of 9 to 10%. From then on, it will just be a 14 km rush downwards to the finish line.  This really could be a day for a break-away win but there are way too many teams with potential winners.  Kristoff will hope that the pace is not too high for him and on the other hand Lotto-Soudal, Team UAE Emirates and, of course, Team Bora would want to bring this to a reduced sprint. Predictions The key moment of the race for me will the last km of the final climb with gradient of 10%. This could favor a ferocious but yet successful attack. ...

2022 Tour de Suisse - STAGE 1 Preview & Predictions Stage 1 Profile   The second part of the stage is a circuit race which ends with a 4.1 km climb at 4.6%. Difficult to predict which one the puncheur will be strongest as we don’t know the form of many of them. But UAE team emirates has several cards and the win could be destined to them if they play them well.

Tour de Suisse 2022 - Part 2 These eight stages will mostly be about punchers and climbers for this year, in which we only have one time trial but very important one.  Stage Winners So we will firstly talk about the puncheurs and possible stage winners. There are no less than five stages that could go to them. UAE Team Emirates' trio  Diego Ulissi , Alessandro Covi and Marc Hirschi represent  everything  about puncheurs.  Beno ît  Cosnefroy and Quentin Pacher are French riders who have been impressing for some years now with a punchy finish and recently, in classic race as well.  Clément Champoussin ,  although very unpredictable, he can also be included among The French hopes.  A rider that should be taken seriously is Patrick Bevin  who is very good sprinter and processes time trial abilities. He can even climb decently as seen recently in the Tour of Turkey.  Andreas Kron and Alexander Kamp are fast finishers that would not...

Tour de Suisse 2022 Tour de Suisse will be the penultimate race before the highly anticipated Tour de France. Coinciding with Critérium du Dauphiné, Tour de Suisse will run from June 12 to June 19 i.e. eight stages. The first five stages are predominantly hilly, and the last three stages will probably dictate the general classification. The previous winners of Tour de Suisse were Richie Porte in 2018, Egan Bernal in 2019 and Richard Carapaz in 2021. Tour de Suisse had been cancelled for the year 2020 . Overall Map The first thing we notice when we have a general look of the tour de Suisse is that Julien Alaphilippe will be missed, but Remco Evenepoel is here! With just one time trial which will close the race, this year’s race will be more packed with action and elevation. Stage 1 The riders will have to undertake a circuit 4 times instead of the traditional prologue. It is hard to see a bunch sprint here. Only puncheurs will survive.   Stage 2 Considering the rather flat ope...
