Tour de Romandie *spoilers*

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Kicks off with a 19.2km TTT and ends with a 17.3km ITT, with 3 lumpy stages in between

Astana look as if they have a strong squad, Sky look as if they might have a squad of the recent fallen, knackered classics riders and a none-to-impressive-thus-far Froome.

I'll not tell you who my bookie needs to be afraid of

I can't see any TV listings for the race, I'm sure it was on sky sports last year.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Information on the race also seems fairly sparce, including there being no confirmed startlist or start times for the TTT yet

Katusha looking very smooth half way round... but end up just 5 seconds down on OGE.

Sky kill it though, for the win.

Only by a fraction of a second though!!
A bit gutted for Albasini - he would've had the leader's jersey for a day in his home race.

Any Highlights on tv?

As I said, a bunch of no-hopers

And they beat my pick for the TTT into 2nd so Mr Bookie gets some money back from me

I hope tomorrow's stage, starting in Apples, does not see my pick being pipped again

 

[SWSteve]

G in yellow, I bet @smutchin is happy with that

No doubt they'll crumble again.
Christ, I farking hate these punfest threads

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Will Albasini pick up where he left off last year? Will Sky be happy enough for him to take yellow to ease the pressure on the team? Or will Alaphilippe carry on his good form from the past few weeks? Or a long break? Fuglsang or Spilak? Or will Nibali boss them like a, err, boss on the downhills?

I'm trying to whip up some interest, in case you missed it

Is this on tv guys or just live stream? Struggling to find any listings.
