Only one defect prevents Colin Stüssi’s podium at the start of the Tour of Rhodes UCI 2.2 – Captain Thalmann continues to do well after a crash!

That would have been almost a spot landing today on the first stage in Rhodes. Colin Stüssi was very strong and finished eighth after 150 kilometers with a finish in Maritsa. The Swiss caught a massive bump 150 meters before the finish and crashed his rear wheel in second position.

“That would have been it, but the tour lasts two days and tomorrow there will be an attack. Because Roland Thalmann was also one of the “battered” today. He falls at the foot of the climb and can continue with abrasions. The other riders then returned to him and were able to make up for the long backlog in a very short time. The shape fits, billing takes place on Sunday!”
