Nah if it's gonna be like this just cancel the rest of the race and don't even bother giving UCI points for GC

Lol, get a grip.

 

[Red Rick]

Lol, get a grip.

I have all the grip.

It's basically like training a dog. If it destroys the furniture, you don't reward it with treats.

[Heston]

There was a one or two descents earlier in the stage. This was not an unipuerto stage.

So no reason to cancel the final mountain

So no reason to cancel the final mountain

That is the reason why the stage was reduced. Descents in icy wet conditions.

The final mountain was Aurum under the original profile which was too snowy. You seem to forget that we live in a very litigious society so organisers are very cautious when it comes to race routes.

If only there were places to to talk about cycling rather than bikes, riders and sponsors.

Well, look at Don Patrick's latest comments on Maxtin and UAE.

I tried to find a webcam near Lantosque for tomorrow but didn't find

to be precise it's Auron

Aurum is Alberto's and Birillo's bike brand

They don't make snow tires in 30-32mm?

I am thinking about running these things year round

 

[aphronesis]

Not my point as you know, but I do need to run wider tires.

Stage 8 and final:

A design that often delivers.

 

[RedheadDane]

Anyone more than 15 minutes behind at the red dot will be taken out of the race.
Due to elections, the roads can't be kept closed that long.

At least you could have given @Red Rick the favor to post the video with Mart Smeets commentating! 😄

they enter the circuit previous to that , on the descent , so i assume its there that theyll be taken out

Probably... I just posted it like that, because TV2 only wrote how many km into the race it was, not with how many km left, and... well... I didn't wanna have to do the math-thing.

 

[search]

The red dot looks correct to me. 103.4k into the stage is what it says in the stage communiqee, which would be just after the descent.

Oh, I'm sure the dot is correct.
Like I wrote above; I just didn't wanna have to do the math to find out with how many km to go - which I think is more relevent than how many km into the stage - it is.

There is a terza via, a happy middle ground, between that and the disgraceful pretentions of today's cyclists. It's gotten to the point of if it's cold, raining and windy they expect that they don't have to ride. Your cyclists, for God's sake, not footballers.
