Yeah, no true fan is ever disappointed by the outcome of a result.

That's why they're true fans

I was slightly disappointed by it. Mostly because I felt so sorry for Yates. I think maybe if Yates had been able to stay with the Dumoulin-group, then it wouldn't have felt so heartbreaking, then Froome would just have been better on the day. However, well… that was the Giro of Epic Explosions, wasn't it?

Also… Err… MODS! PLEASE REMOVE IF INAPPROPRIATE!

Honestly… with... you-know-what going on at the time, I was kinda worried it wasn't gonna stick anyway…

Did you just post that there was no false flat and to back it up post a picture where everyone can clearly see the false flat sections?

That isn’t a false flat

 

[Põhja Konn]

That isn’t a false flat

Technical nitpicking and semantics really. For the purpose of general forum discussion, describing those sections as false flat is more than accurate enough. Let' s face it, you got caught pants down here.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

If that isn't a false flat, what is?

 

[RedheadDane]

That isn’t a false flat

How do you define a false flat? Something that's flat on the profile, but isn't in reality? Coz… I think that's pretty much half any given Giro route?

 

[rick james]

its too much of a rise to be a false flat

 

[RedheadDane]

So, it's too honest to be a false flat?

 

[rick james]

call it whatever you want but its not a false flat

 

[Blanco]

And how would you call these two sections, first from the end of descent of Finestre till the beginning of categorized climb to Sestriere, and second from the bottom of Sestriere descent until the bottom of Jafferau?

So British good, Everyone else bad?


seems about right

You posting history says so. In no uncertain terms.

What's an example for false flat then?

That isn’t a false flat

I haven't done an exact calculation, but isn't it around over 10km at less than 2%?
How is that not a false flat?

Thanks

Come back with a true calculation of that stretch of road then we can talk

 

[rick james]

What's an example for false flat then?

Clearly a road that doesn’t rise up as much as this one

 

[Ruby United]

Just did. Never was the best at maths, but came out to (depending on when you consider it to start/end) between 1.5 and 1.8%.
A clear false flat.

Like?

 

[rick james]

Like?

What ever one suits your argument

 

[Gigs_98]

What ever one suits your argument

Seriously, if you don't have an example you might as well admit it

 

[RedheadDane]

It appears like we need to completely re-write the scale of climbs. Looks like we got:

1. Honest flats.
2. False flats.
3. Whatever's between a false flat and a hill.
4. Hills.
5. Medium mountains.
6. Mountains.

But maybe it's more like... gradually. So, something that be a 2.5... I dunno…
