So are cars, if an idiot is driving.

Point being, a guy with antlers acting relatively responsibly is probably significantly less of a danger than a drunk idiot without any sharp objects.

Agreed. Antler man has been following the peloton for year and even travelled to places like the vuelta. Never was any problem even had a few jokes.with some riders.

Farrar ftw.
Didn't know I was obliged to comment every 5 minutes.
Decided to watch the 8kms of the actual climb.

 

[Deagol]

coming up to a spot with a large cliff drop on the left ... good for escapee

I do think he will be caught on the flats, though ...


damn these flat finishes !!

 

[dgodave]

The descent is pretty shallow as they get closer to town, as I recall. Will be hard for TD.

this is a serious ride by tommy d, taylor paying price of having used up his team without saving them on climb.
