What the actual hell? A handful of dropped riders wound up going into the péloton riding backwards on the course to get back to their team buses. Dangerous as hell and, as we now know thanks to Porte & Clarke, completely against the rules.
Yes, until 2012. It was 1.2 in 2013, 1.1 last year, and now back to 1.2.Hugo Koblet said:Wasn't this 1.HC not long ago?
Gonna be a (Men's) Flèche Wallonne style sprint up the Manayunk Wall, looks like. Muccioli the latest to try from before the wall, around 3k out. She won the nationals on a similar circuit in 2013, and last year she was 4th in the Giro dell'Emilia, although the field wasn't all that strong there - shows she's not to be taken that lightly though.BigMac said:Ye, the pack coming in fast.
