Tour of Switzerland

Is this similar to the tour de suisse?

I can't work out who is the nearest to Wiggins in this race. . . i.e. a Top class climber who can time trial well. Maybe Kruiswijk?

And I predict we all transfer out the chap from Wohlen bei Bern with the Leccy bike after the time trial.

Just picked my provisional team and I'm pretty happy with it - only 1 rider I'm a bit unsure about.

Starts with the obligatory prologue type TT(hard to see past home hero Spartacus there),followed by a BIG mountain stage where perhaps Horner,Nieve and Gadret should shine.

There follows 4 Sagan/Haussler/Boonen type stages in the middle(Stages 3,4,5 & 6) where points can also be accrued by breakaway guys.

Stage 7 sees a longer bumpy TT(Spartacus or perhaps Velits?) before getting the oxygen masks back on for 2 Mountain stages with a HC and Cat 2 finish respectively

A couple of solid GC guys like Gesink,Mollema or even Roche might be my mainstays.

Possible DS's Kovalanonas,Navardauskas,Albasini,Bookwalter,Tschopp?

What if Mr Cancellara started going up hills as fast as he goes down them? I'd be like the bloke off the Ladbrokes adverts.

As it is, I reckon my team is unstoppable in the Tour de Suisse. I can't believe I managed to afford the line-up that I have. I can't wait to rise up into the top third of mediocrity. My Swiss train is going to be like the Cassandra Crossing but this time the drugs will work!
