USAPCC Stage 2: Gunnison to Aspen 209.8km (24/8)

[Havetts]

Crash looks painfull.

 

[benpounder]

God I love hard-pack...

 

[Havetts]

Bad images, blergh...

Rumors of rain/storms? Anyone have the weather info? Lightning is a very real danger there. They will be above the tree line on both summits. Hikers are strongly advised to get below the tree line ASAP when bad weather threatens. Being on a bike will just make it quicker to get down out of danger once they summit.

Some of those crash shots were sickening and reminiscent of that awful day at the Giro.

Tracker down

Yep... no images again just voices.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The weather is being a *****.

Reminds me of Amstel Gold 2005... Mist and no images

Sadly true.

 

[Escarabajo]

Basso will probably retire soon. Not looking good.

 

[Havetts]

Basso will probably retire soon.

Yep, cant see him stay active.

Gotta say this shacktracker is fantastic. When the feed is up it is great and the early parts don't have Phil and Paul commentating.

Every major race should do this before the official live TV feed. I loved in in the ATOC when the pictures were live without *any* commentating at all.

 

[Lupetto]

Santi Botero talking to Montiel.

 

[Escarabajo]

Hah! I see Botero. Strange in the DS position.

 

[Lupetto]

Tornado warning in Aspen.

 

[Escarabajo]

Gobernacion attack. So they are active today. It is actually the only chance they have in this race. They don't have any other option.

 

[just some guy]

Gobo off the front of the group

and a tornado warning in Aspen

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

LOL Tornado warning. That's just fantastic

 

[Havetts]

Surely that'll create Crosswinds .

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Surely that'll create Crosswinds .

Either a crosswind, headwind, or tailwind depending on whether your in front or in the back of the group

 

[patrick767]

Welcome to the USAPCC, all, where the winner must be adept at climbing, descending, time trialing, handling high altitude, dodging lightning bolts, and skirting tornadoes!

 

[luckyboy]

Jeez all this time I've thought ShackTracker was just going to be like that Tour one where it shows animations in a little box and has some text updates. Didn't realise it was a video feed

 

[Rocksteady]

Either a crosswind, headwind, or tailwind depending on whether your in front or in the back of the group

Get in the eye, now that is what I call getting into a slipstream.

But seriously, tornadoes in Colorado aren't very common/likely. Sounds like bad info.\

Edit: HA HA, just a weekly test.

 

[Havetts]

No tornado warning after all.

 

[benpounder]

Tornado warning in Aspen.

Warnings... I've lived in the high country of Colorado long enough to know that most likely means squalls.
