Pocket, what stream/channel are you watching? Zattoo has Radsport but it's in german. Not the end of the world, but the only acceptable languages to watch cycling in are French, Italian and English.

France3 here. TSR 1 or 2 may have something but I only France3 listing and didn't bother going further.

Here you go http://www.rts.ch/sport/direct/7536878-cyclisme.html

Cheers. Found it on RSI too. They all started late so I didn't spot them.

I was hoping for much shittier terrain. Did they clean it up overnight? Someone in the bike thread who was riding yesterday said the arenberg was terrible yesterday but it looked spotless today.

Anyone who wants to watch pain and suffering in some beautiful scenery, the tour de suisse is climbing both the furka and the Gotthard today. Both are really pretty alpine climbs. They finish up in Cari which I've not been to but the climb on the way up there is the cherry on suffercake.

Gonna be fun seeing what happens if there's a bunch sprint at those tramlines in Bern. Mate of mine dislocated his shoulder last week by riding into the ones in Geneva :(

The French apparently recommended just pouring asphalt into the tracks :wtc:

I've seen this done before on disused railroad crossings in france. Works surprisingly well and I wouldn't imagine it's too hard to dig out the asphalt after.


This, however, looks like somone's going on their arse if there's a bunch sprint, which is what BMC looks to be gearing up for.

It's perfect weather for the mountains. I live in switzerland and to get away from the heat I go ride up big hills. The valleys provide a nice cooling breeze as the air descends naturally off the glaciers up top, and once you're up there it's usually quite a bit colder than down at the bottom.







Admittedly I'm not riding up them at 30k/hr though.

That course looks designed entirely for Froome to win.

Particularly enjoying the TT with a 17% climb.

The jura section is 40k from me. Gonna have to head up there with a shitload of beer and some white paint for the inevitable cock+balls marking.
