48 degrees being reported now. Joaquim Silva DNF'ed because of a heat stroke. The Volta keeps delivering.

‏Sad to leave Portugal. Dehydrated I was stuck at the Antidoping control for 3hours with no food but water. After just being able to hand in my pee sample, my body completely shut down and collapsed. Spent the night in the hospital suffering from a heat stroke and kidney failure

Louis Bendixen

Another complete UCI fail. This organization is more incapable then Fifa.

did Tartoletto-Isorex pull out of the race? I remember seeing them on the start list but they aren't in the results and I didn't see any of their riders in the little bit of TV coverage I saw today.

They are not on the official start list even though they announced in April that they had been invited. The teams calander does not show the Volta so for some reason they DNS.

I see that they are at the Tour de Namur IC2.12 instead - see http://royalnamurvelo.be/index.php/.../liste-des-equipes-selectionnees-edition-2017
