What happened yesterday?
Well, Tadej Pogačar went on the rampage again, although he didn’t end up winning. He actually looked like he was trying to set up teammate Jhonatan Narváez on the late steep climbs but ended up going for it himself. However, the breakaway was by that point too far ahead and while Pogačar and Mathias Vacek almost made contact in the home straight, it was Romain Gregoire (FDJ) who kicked clear from the break to land a big win.

Start delayed
The riders are still on the start line and we’re hearing the roll-out has been pushed back to 2pm local time, so in just over 10 minutes. No reason has been given as yet.

We don’t have a huge number of pure sprinters in this race. Matthew Brennan (Visma-Lease a Bike) stands out, while the likes of Corbin Strong (NSN), Orluis Aulaur (Movistar), Luke Lampert (EF), and Marius Mayrhofer (Tudor) are here. Alpecin-Deceuninck are an interesting one – they were meant to have Jasper Philipsen before he changed his mind about coming, but the team do have Kaden Groves and a certain Mathieu van der Poel.

Hello!
Hello there and welcome along as the Tour de Suisse continues with a stage that represents the only chance for the sprinters in this race, but far from a nailed-on opportunity. The hills we have in the first half of this parcours could prove selective and we may end up with a breakaway day on our hands, depending on how many teams are really interested in controlling for a sprint. It should be an interesting one, and we will of course have every pedal stroke covered right here.
