    stage two of the tour of Switzerland and something of a canundrum it has to be said how on Earth do you take on a day that’s supposed to be for the sprinters but has plenty of climbing well Ethan hater one of those that could well go well sporting a jersey on behalf of our glorious leader Eve lampar wearing yellow we basically owned everything after the opening time trial this a very different kind of day and if it was declared as a spinter day it had plenty of lumps and bumps along the way to test well minds and bodies were to be put under stress with over 2,100 M of altitude gain couple of Category 2 tests reasonably early on before the Sprints even themselves coming on hills and then a final Category 3 climb before a run for home this was no easy test and a shark tooth profile was there well a breakaway went off and up the road for brave souls kypers doing enough to take the king of the mountains jersey for the first time of asking 10 points for him along the way what about the work rate within the peltin well ion KCK had done an awful lot of work should a quick step but also stepped up to the mark naturally protecting EV Lamar’s Jersey and the peltin was strung out even on the flatter sections the pace was very very high and indeed the durability of our Breakaway was being tested a watch up for grabs at the tiso intermediate Sprint once that was on the wrist of Felix stery it was time for the run for home and that pesky final climb was having a big impact this wasn’t even at that point mark caves just being guided back to safety at the back of the pon by Simone Velasco he did get himself back in with just under 22 kilomet remaining but that last test and then a downhill run to plenty of roundabouts and really pesky very highly technical finale well that was what was up ahead the pace came down it was a question of who would have the guts and Verve to to push on once our last Breakaway man was caught Felix Stelly gladly reabsorbed and then the attacks started to just appear at least a sense that one was coming still alas into kernick stamping on the pedals so crown and very much to the Forefront of things it was for axelon ultimately you would think for them teim o Kilik not visible mind you so many of the fast men had kept themselves out of the wind and had ridden almost anonymously 5 kilm to go it was really strung out two major groups came together and bettiol brave as he is and often wins from situation such as this he kicked off could he Poss possibly make it home well there were some ramps at the very last and they were always going to be legs fatigas and indeed bol’s best effort unfortunately for him came to not he was to be tagged and then it was the run in with these 90° turns out front looking for glory honor Dee looked like he was in the perfect position off his wheel once the chain was chucked Brian Kar taking advantage of a desperate situation for Del he restrung it and got back in The Fray but it was all over Michael Matthews was to come up and try and challenge but cckar held on for victory a superb win for him a man who’s been so often in second place Matthew runner up this time ahead of dele BR Rivera Ru Costa top five with axelon also very much where he needed to be not that far off the point was Eve lamp who stays in the yellow Jersey as we start to think about the hills a hilly stage tomorrow but I have to say today had plenty of altitude gain so what will be in store it’s one of those anyone’s guess scenario EV lampar ahead by 4 seconds from Ethan hater ARA Fisher black and Matthews all on S seconds in AAS and this is the stage three course well initially it looks quite benign but all of the climbs are back stacked at the very end it will be a tough finale that’s for sure who’s going to win we have absolutely no idea which what makes this race so enthralling the altimetry Tells A Tale all on its own we can’t wait we’ll see you tomorrow for stage three [Music]
