The most satisfying surprise of the day for the Movistar Team came on stage two of the Tour de Suisse, dramatically harder than expected as only nine riders came together at Rotkreuz's finish after the two ascents of Cat-1 Michelskreuz (4km at 9%). Despite not being able to get into the group including late attacker and stage winner Kristijan Durasek (LAM), Winner Anacona showed courage and completed a nice climb to cross the line with a second group for 13th place, 14" down.
With Ion Izagirre, Eros Capecchi and José Joaquín Rojas behind in a third peloton, just over 1' back, the 'Boyacense', 12th overall at 21" from Tom Dumoulin (TGA), looks like the best chance for the José Luis Jaimerena-led group - which started the day one rider down as Javi Moreno was a DNS after his crash in the prologue. Things will be open for change on Monday, with stage two in the Ticino (Quinto-Olivone, just 117km) covering the Gothard (HC), Leontica (Cat-2) and Aquila (Cat-3.)
