You should have just nuked the Kuss "attacking" on Loze thread. It loses its amusement value when merged into a real thread.Merged this with the thread on Kuss attacking on Col de la Loze.
I think there was a small minority of us here, at the very least a non-zero cohort, who expressed the opinion that there was, at the very least, a non-zero chance of Pogacar beating Roglic by more than a minute in the TT. Personally, I assumed it would take a mechanical or some sort of non-athletic incident, rather than Pog just blowing him out of the water. But I don't think I was alone in thinking it wasn't a sure thing.
Point being, given Jumbo's superiority in numbers over UAE, some on here were wondering why Jumbo were happy to just have Pog sit in their wheels all the way up every mountain in the Alps. Especially after Bernal cracked on the Colombier, leaving Pogacar, that day's stage winner, as the only realistic GC threat.
That's 1400m or something right?On another note, Meribel right now:
And that's in the town, there is probably quite a bit more snow on the Col de la Loze right now. I feel like this would also be relevant in the discussion of whether it could snow during the Giro.
It's raining cats and dogs in Innsbruck, snow until 1300 or even 1100m durning the night, until 1500m further South in the Dolomites.That's 1400m or something right?
I don't like where this is going.It's raining cats and dogs in Innsbruck, snow until 1300 or even 1100m durning the night, until 1500m further South in the Dolomites.
Me neither, but a day or 2 with bad weather can always happen in the Alpes, I remember snowfall on the Brenner in July and August durning some years.I don't like where this is going.

Realistically I don't think this tells much about what's gonna happen in late OctoberI don't like where this is going.
