Our squad is headed to Switzerland. These big hitters are ready for the Tour de Suisse starting on Sunday, one of the last big stage race before the Tour. Let’s get it rolling.
EF Education-EasyPost will chase a stage success at Tour de Suisse
CyclingSunday, 11 June 2023 at 08:30
American team EF Education-Easy Post comes to Switzerland with a mixed team. While Rigoberto Urán and Neilson Powless will try to chase their GC goals, their lineup also includes multiple stage hunters.
While for Urán Tour de Suisse is the final step in his Tour de France preparation, where he'd like to have a say in the final GC, Neilson Powless is returning to competition after successful spring. Thus his form remains to be seen and we can't rule that Powless will hunt stage success instead.
Other riders to watch out for are Stefan Bissegger, who'll normally be a big favourite to win one of the timetrials, but might also try to turn his engine into a breakaway success just like he did in 2021. Another name to pay attention to would be Dane Mikkel Honoré who's had a rather modest after early transfer from Soudal - Quick-Step, but one never knows when he'll strike.
EF Education-EasyPost lineup for Tour de Suisse:
Rigoberto Urán, Stefan Bissegger, Mikkel Honoré, Neilson Powless, Jonas Rutsch, Tom Scully and Julius van den Berg

- yeah, that’s a more fair assessment. “reaching mathieu’s level” doesn’t mean you’re planning to replicate his whole career. the former IS doable, potentially. it’s just the latter that likely is not.OCexile25-12-2024
- That’s not entirely true. Every person follows their own development path and peaks differently. Remco and Primoz had hardly started cycling before elite level. Jonas was pretty much under the radzr until he unexpectedly had to take over responsibility at JV. Some guys only get real good in their thirties others have peaked mid-twenties. You can’t tell in advance how and upto what level they will progress, obviously his career might not have MVDPs length but nothing says he could not end up doing a few seasons at his level.Mistermaumau25-12-2024
- well, del grosso is 21 right now. when mathieu was a year younger than that, he was already winning elite level world championships, not U23. i think del grosso will be a very good pro for years, but if he was really going to be the next van der poel someday, he’d already have to be at that level right NOW. van der poel was showing signs of true greatness when he was 15-16. THAT’S what generational talent looks like.OCexile25-12-2024
- Yeah.... gear 😅.mikolajjj24-12-2024
- It shouldn’t be about expectations in the first place should it? Besides, if you look at everyone’s calculations as a whole they don’t add up in the first place. There’ll be 2-3 riders with a 50% chance, a dozen with 10 or 20% and dozens more with a 5% so we’re expecting at least 2 if not 3 winners. Remind me again who won before her? Says it all about using data to decide on participation.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
- Ok, happy I’m not too interested in this team coz’ the account of what happened is really hard to follow.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
- The UCI is worse than USA CyclingVeganpotter24-12-2024
- It's not like they wanted her to not win😅 She had an outstanding Olympics. But there's a reason why she wasn't expected to win the road race and that's ok. Things like this happen and it's great...better than seeing expected winners win.Veganpotter24-12-2024
- Bruyneel ? The man with a lifetime ban from cycling...why do you keep giving him and his doper mate, Armstrong, a platform?DJ24-12-2024
- yeah, agree. on the subject of being a “complete rider,” i do think that’s getting more interesting. mathieu seems to have decided he wants to get much better at climbing the the high mountain passes. he appears to be looking for new challenges, which should be interesting to watch. in most cases you’d dismiss a goal like that at age 30, but it’s mvdp. he’s never going to climb with the real climbers, but if he can improve enough it could open up stage wins when the parcours isnt just purely toothy and punchy.OCexile24-12-2024
