2013 Tour of Romandie, Stage 4:Marly - Les Diablerets 188.5 Km

[Ryo Hazuki]

summit finish where?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Les Diablerets of course. See the profile.

Realistically it's now got a bunch of false flat near the end, then a puncheur last few hundred metres.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Why is t possible to go over that mountain once, but not the second time. Doesn't make any sense

 

[ILovecycling]

Wtf,why?There is 1cm of snow?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Well that sucks

because the peloton can go piano the first time.....

and the gc to T.Martin or Froome

 

[screaming fist]

Maybe because there's predictions of snowfall in the later afternoon?

It's a shame, really. The new route is perfect for Froome.

then they could've just finished on that climb the 2nd time they went over it? what does snow matter uphill

 

[Ferminal]

Meersman for the stage, Martin for GC

Rujano DNS, very smart move. No one riding the Giro should be out there today if it's going to be cold and wet. Hopefully Basso jumps off soon.

The Blanco fools will all get sick and get out of shape in the Giro

Gesink is still riding today?

On the bright side you'll have an excuse in may

 

[Telmisartan new]

Col de la Croix

Sweet baby jesus,that looks scary,so much for no snow,race is now a damp squib,so disappointed.

 

[roundabout]

Looks like a typical alpine pass that has been opened after the winter ?

Edit: a quick poke around suggests that it is still not open to traffic. Eh?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

gesink was praying for this day. now he will have an excuse the next month

 

[Miburo]

Col de la Croix

What's the big deal?

 

[Frosty]

Current temperature at Morzine (1515m) is 3.7C, Grand St Bernard (2487m) is -0.2C and at Moleson (north of the course today) its 1.2C at 1975 metres so the top of the Col de la Croix is probably about 2.3C so any precipitation is probably sleet (rain/snow mix). The snow level to the west of Geneva is at about 1000 metres. Current forecasts suggest that these lower snow levels will move into the Col de la Croix region but after the race has finished. Looks like a tough one for the guys today, maybe a lot of retirements with only a tt to come tomorrow.

ha ha so true.

 

[jens_attacks]

will they broadcast the stage?

 

[Telmisartan new]

Does anyone know how well VDB2 is going?

 

[webvan]

Just checked out the TdR iPhone app snd they're saying the second climb up Col de La Croix after Pas de Morgins is cancelled, does it mean the first one is still on?

Yes it is. (If I understood things correctly...)
