Quintana likely to try again and with the help of crosswinds to make it through. Martínez to take time on Thomas. Pogi already waiting them all on the podium, this time not being considerate and to continue to spray champagne.

How does a 3 min neutralization work if not everybody is together?
Geraint Thomas to attack on the Umbrailpass.
Might it be that the riders neutralize it themselves unofficially as some kinda protest?
The title on the news page is cringe. Racing to go on “despite” rain and possible snow.
They need to just dress the way they did for LBL after FW and they’ll be fine.
Especially the rain part, like the risk of snow thing is newsworthy, but riders to ride despite rain does not belong in a news headline, this isn‘t F1.The title on the news page is cringe. Racing to go on “despite” rain and possible snow.

I’m unclear on exactly when the pit stop would be - I’ve seen at the foot of the climb, at the top of Umbrail…
It has to be at the top of the climb, at the bottom there‘s no need to put on jackets.I’m unclear on exactly when the pit stop would be - I’ve seen at the foot of the climb, at the top of Umbrail…
There was me looking at the profile hoping for something akin to this festival of pajaras.

Even F1, unless it turns into Sepang 2009 or Nürburgring 2007, no need for cancellation.Especially the rain part, like the risk of snow thing is newsworthy, but riders to ride despite rain does not belong in a news headline, this isn‘t F1.
2002, Tonkov won, Savoldelli took the Maglia Rosa from Evans.which year? who won? who was in pink?
Today's press release is the most classic example of stupid demands leading to stupid compromises. I would be arguing that there should be a standardised approach, but there already is one - the Extreme Weather Protocol. Which, correctly, doesn't cover 'it's cold and wet and I don't like riding in that kind of weather, let's manufacture outrage'.
If he'd arrived in cycling 15 years later, Ian Stannard would have had no career. King of the appalling weather.At least it's not Tour of Turkey where they neutralize the whole stage if it's sightly raining.
Ouch!Because it is obviously a better option than what sits right below it!
One-day racing is generally safe because you can just stop if you‘re cold without missing out on any winning chances, and because riders can‘t stage a protest the next day. They wouldn‘t race LBL 1980, but besides that, it‘s actually fine. Flèche Wallonne this year went through without people dying or neutralisation this year.If he'd arrived in cycling 15 years later, Ian Stannard would have had no career. King of the appalling weather.
