Big rain for tomorrow

So much so that they are saying they might even cancel the race:

23	Izagirre Ion	Cofidis	5​	+ 01:27​

Thank you. The depression continues.

Thank you. The depression continues.

What? They got points!

 

[Pozzovivo]

What? They got points!

Yes, ten of them. It's not nothing, but it's pretty damn close. I hoped for more in a 1.pro with a mediocre startlist.

 

[Wvv]

One year prolongation for Van Tricht at Alpecin!

 

[postmanhat]

Arrived in Varese on holiday today, specifically to see Tre Valli, and Lombardia later in the week.

It's been raining constantly and is set to continue. Possible the race won't go ahead now

I think the most thrilling thing about this race will be watching the weather forecast and seeing if the race takes place to begin with.

Please keep us posted seeing as you are already in the area!

Why can't they delay the race for 24 hours.

The local people might not like it too much if the roads are closed for an extra day. Shocking as it might sound, not everyone is a cycling fan.

There's also the possibility that the roads might simply not be passable tomorrow either, and if they are, they might need to be kept free for emergency vehicles.

Origin of the cancellation rumours is a Dutch Wielerflits article, and the only source it's based on is the weather forecast.

Hey, @Berniece.
Maybe change the thread title to "103rd Tre Valli Varesine, October 8"... or, we could just... keep the title, but continue talking about TVV here...

 

[SafeBet]

The weather is awful, some roads are already flooded in the Milan area so I presume it's the same in Varese.

Sure, I can change this. Maybe next year we should just create 1 topic for the 3 races.

Well, the women's race is on, so unless the weather worsens significantly, the men's race will probably also go on as planned.

Not many will be on the roads today if the weather forecast is correct.

People are still gonna need to get to work.

 

[Salvarani]

Epic day if they let them race

 

[MartinGT]

Man, these lasses are nails. Cat Ferguson for another win?

 

[MartinGT]

They're now having to put a diversion in because of flooding on the course.

That thread title is good for practising your maths skills. Ok, the 1st Tre Valli Varesine was held in 1919. It was cancelled for 2 years during WWII and also missed a year because of the COVID pandemic. SO that must mean the 103rd Tre Valli Varesine is..............the 2024 edition.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I've edited the title, lest anyone be looking to find what happened yesterday.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Maybe Remco and Roglic can get to the Pub earlier than yesterday if it carries on raining.

 

[Mina.S]

Roglic is already at the pub... not even on the start list?

 

[Berniece]

Men's race shortened by 2 laps.

Better idea IMO is to just do 1 full lap after Pogacar takes off and take the finisht here

What's the point of shortening the route by 2 laps? Do they expect way more rainfall in those last 2 laps?
