indeed, the Bosberg is steep and it looks like a wall, but it's never too steep, and the most important thing is that it's wide.
A more interesting topic would be: who will be the first rider (or at which position?) having to put their feet on the cobbles of the Koppenberg?

Correct, 2 amateurs from a team that have an orange/black kit that looks a bit Euskaltel-ish.

Unfortunately the one further down the climb broke his hip when he fell, so he neither walked or rode out, but was carried out.
Apologies for the harsh comments, speedy recovery I hope.

Agreed. Joke time over.

Thanks for that bit of news, SoNiK4. Even from that pic you can tell the rider seems down and out. I didn't even see the other guy in the foreground until someone else mentioned it. Slow crashes are often the hardest ones to avoid.
They're embarrassing as hell AND they can do significant damage.

I just rode up it today amidst the thousands. If I can get up that, then no pro should be walking it (unless crashed or stopped by a crash)...

But was it raining? :D

Robbie McEwan may walk up if he is still there when the race gets there .
He may have already made it to the team car by then.
How did he get conned into riding that race.
