Tour de Suisse
Stage 1: Strasbourg - Soleure
Relatively flat stage. A strong wind today of 50km/h in some parts. The peloton lets no early attacks get away and the winds lead to many splits as breaks are chased down. The effort puts a lot of stress on the peloton, but finally things calmed down.
First break to get away occurs at the 2nd sprint. A combination of sprinters and tag-alongs keep going after sprint is finished and the peloton lets them do so. Sprinters such as Boonen, Ciolek, Sutton and Bazayev are here: 21 riders in all.
The peloton never lets the break get more than a 1'40" lead but has a very hard time closing the gap. Little by little, the breakaway is reeled in, however with 4.3 km to go a group of 8 still has a 1 minute lead. There are all sprinters here: Ciolek, Sutton, Sanderson, Bazayev, Morkov, etc.
Bazayev appears to win the stage, however for some reason Morkov is awarded the win with Bazayev second.

Oops, turns out that the game is still set on hard. So, the Tour de Suisse will actually be the first race run on extreme, not the Dauphine. Thought that was a bit too easy. |

Haven't checked out this forum for quite some time, but I quite like this story. It's a bit Guido'ish.
Keep it up

Thanks. Guido has been one of my favorites to read so I guess I shouldn't be surprised if there is some degree of resemblence. His stories are much better than mine, though. |

Stage 3: Aigle - Ruines de Rionda
Shaping up to be a pretty brutal mountain stage today.
Tony Martin is the first to launch an attack up the very aptly named, Ascension vers les Ruines de Rionda.
Elias Morca is keen to stay in the yellow jersey, and quickly counters.
All of the race favorites jump in. Pliuschin and Iduriaga here.
Schleck and Mollema as well as others.
Morca's attack was the most powerful, and he has quickly established a 1'10 lead over the closest competitor.
E2 is Tony Martin.
E3 is 19 seconds back of Martin and includes Deignan, Schleck, Serpa, Casanova, Pliuschin, Redondo, Gesink, Mollema, Iduriaga and Joly. Schleck shows his fitness levels, again, by being quickly dropped from the group. We order Casanova to continue without him.
E3 soon catches Tony Marin but is now 2'23 behind Morca.
Matthew Lloyd has come out of nowhere to catch E2.
Tough stage, hot day and riders begin to run out of gas. Casanova, Mollema and Martin are all dropped.
Pliuschin is dropped.
Well ahead, Morca crosses the finish line for a truly impressive solo win.
Meanwhile, Lloyd is dropped.
Gesink is a casualty, not far from the finish line.
With hardly any of the large group of competitors left, Philip Deignan limps across the finish to take second. Serpa will finish 3rd.
This has been a truly difficult stage. 24 riders were unable to make the time cut and have been disqualified, most crossed the line with no energy left. Morca establishes a huge lead.

Stage 4: Bulle - Rapperwil
With 10km to go one member of the day's break, Ondrej Sosenka, has a 2 minute lead and a shot at the stage win.
Within the pack, over the last 10 km we get a series of falls - a bit of a domino effect at play. A large number of riders go down including many of the favorites: Morca, Gesink, Pliuschin. Our own Yaroslav Popovych goes down as well. No time loss for anyone.
Up front, it is heartbreak for Sosenka as he is swallowed up a mere .2 km from the finish.
Alex Rasmussen goes on to win.
Disaster for us. Popo can't get started again and he is out injured. This is a big blow to our Tour de France plans, where he was likely to be lieutenant to Schleck.

Stage 5: Horgen - Gletsch
Will be intresting to see if any of the leaders are suffering from yesterday's crash.
We decide to be the aggressor on the Furkapass today. Casanova launches the first attack. Morca follows with Schleck right behind him.
A host of others, including Redondo, Rey, Mollema, Serpa, Deignan, Pliuschin, Martin and Gesink follow as well.
Once again, Morca is the strongest and is in front on his own.
Trailing him by 1'12" is a group of Redondo, Schleck, Casanova, and surprisingly enough, Rey.
A further 21 seconds back, we find the rest of the favorites.
Inevitably, Rey is dropped by E2 and caught by E3.
Morca crosses the peak on his own with a 2 minute lead.
E2 and E3 come together during the descent.
Morca navigates the descent without a problem and takes yet another solo win.
Iduriaga takes the sprint to finish 2nd.

Stage 6: Ulrichen - Oberalppass
Heavy duty mountain stage, not for the light hearted.
Morca launches the initial attack up the Sustenpass. Isn't this guys lead big enough already?
For the first time in this tour, Morca has failed at something and is caught by the pack.
Now it is Pliuschin's turn to try.
Redondo counters with Gesink right behind him.
Morca and Schleck go.
A new story today, Redondo has the strongest attack and is on his own.
1'23 back is a group of 10: Pliuschin, Schleck, Morca, Deignan, Lloyd, Mcleod, Gloor, Mollema, Orozco and Iduriaga. Some new names in this group, but they won't be able to hang with others for very long.
58 seconds further back, Serpa and Martin are stuck in a group of 17. If they are not careful, they could suffer large time losses today.
As expected, McLeod, Gloor and Orozco have been dropped from E2, which now contains 7 guys and trails Redondo by 2'17".
Redondo hits the Oberalppass. He has to climb all the way up on his own, a daunting task.
As E2 hits the Oberalppass, Mollema attacks and gets some distance on the others.
Matthew Lloyd attacks.
Finally a chink in Morca's armor. He is dropped.
Spoken too soon. He digs deep and manages to get back to the group.
Up ahead, Redondo crosses the line for a solo victory. Finally a mountain stage where Morca does not win.
Mollema holds his advantage and finishes 2nd.
Lloyd is caught and in a sprint finish, Pliuschin takes 3rd.
Unfortunately I fell asleep at the wheel and missed the export button. Standings after stage 6 are below.

Besides the Popo setback, the Dauphine for you seems to be pretty successful when you consider that most of your riders are still building form... |

Mollema is 26 seconds back.
A further 54 seconds back, we find everyone else.

Tour de Suisse
Stage 8: Locarno - St. Moritz
Pliuschin launches an attack up the Malojapass, Morca counters.
Schleck, Mollema, Casanova and a host of others follow.
Morca is on his game again today, and he comes away in front.
Pliuschin and Redondo follow at a distance of 36 seconds.
The rest of the usual cast of characters is another 40 seconds back.
Casanova goes front and manages to pull the E3 group up to catch Pliushin and Redondo and in the process he drops all but Schleck, Iduriaga, Martin, Cobo, Mollema and Gesink.
They don't come close to catching Morca, however. Another stage win for him and he wraps up a Tour de Suisse win. He could fall 10 times tomorrow and still win.
Mollema is strongest in the sprint and takes 2nd.

Thats ridiculous, 7 min's back to second place? Most GT's have much smaller gaps. |

Past Winners
2007-2012: Discovery Channel
For whatever reason, I am pretty good at team time trials so we have absolutely dominated this race. No reason to expect any different this year.
Not much suspense to spoil here. As expected, the Discovery Channel boys win this race once again, led by time trial specialists: Brian Vandborg and Luigi Sestili. |

Yeah, Morca was pretty untouchable. 4 stage wins. Most of the other competitors were rouding into race shape whereas I think he was in top fitness. |
