Is there more virus and bacteria in people who get cold?Sick Roglic might come if he was too cold for a long time. Carapaz once again his kryptonite.
It wasn't a steep finishing climb, so probably he took it easy.Nah, just the misleadingly easy-looking profile meant Kuss clocked off early for the day.
I get the feeling he is like a silent killer. Just focuses on the job he has. A huge change from 2018 Giro indeed.Carapaz is one of those riders that NEVER looks back when he attacks. My opinion on him has changed so much in the past two years. His shenanigans in the 2018 were really annoying, but he's winning me over.
I don't know if the profiles are really deceiving and it's very irregular despite the easy average gradient?
But I think it's mostly been twice a super weak defenging team along with climbs easy enough that riders aren't afraid to throw in the gauntlet

I can think of a couple of reasons, like the irregular asphalt and the wind exposure at the top that makes it a kind of baby Ventoux. But yeah mostly I think it's just been the circumstances being right.
Not sure what you mean. A cold is virus, but then sometimes people just catch a chill/get hypothermic.Is there more virus and bacteria in people who get cold?
Ineos and Castelli’s new, patented, GT-winning, Marginal Rains jackets with their innovative Easy-Arm technology that allows you to pull them on over your head whilst still reading your power meter, will be available for Christmas.Jackets not causing problems only in the Giro but apparently in Vuelta, too. But Roglič remains serene and has a positive attitude in the interview:
Vuelta op zijn kop: Roglic verliest rode trui na geklungel met regenjack

Just like we found in the Pyrenées last month, racing is vastly improved by the removal of Sepp Kuss from it.Last 5 kms of last mountain have been a beautiful chaos.
You really dont like this guy, do you?..Just like we found in the Pyrenées last month, racing is vastly improved by the removal of Sepp Kuss from it.
Look at the mountain stages of the Tour and tell me I'm wrong. All the best mountain stages were the ones where Sepp was removed from the equation.You really dont like this guy, do you?..
Anyways, 2016 had nothing to do with the Formigal IMO, that would have happened on any other mediocre climb as well. But is it indeed quite funny how this climb somehow founds a way to be relevant to the GC when it really shouldn't.
I mean you're right, but along with the Kuss-meme, it seems like you have no love for this poor American kid SeppiLook at the mountain stages of the Tour and tell me I'm wrong. All the best mountain stages were the ones where Sepp was removed from the equation.
Maybe it works because it’s a mediocre climb. 2016 Sky would have all been on the front from the start if it was a big day with a major climb like the Angliru at the finish.You really dont like this guy, do you?..

Nah cause then you can use that argument for a climb like Orcieres-Merlette, Macugnaga, Montervergine etc. where jackshit happens cause climb is too easy to do anything. I think today had to do with circumstances, normally you dont have this cold weather in La Vuelta and 2016 was just weird and fantastic at the same timeMaybe it works because it’s a mediocre climb. 2016 Sky would have all been on the front from the start if it was a big day with a major climb like the Angliru at the finish.

He's gonna have a tough time to get over that one... Hope he makes it in time limit.. Fingers crossed for him... I really want him to win a stageMareczko should have a camera with him the entire Angliru. Box Office.
You don't get more but with the same amount of virus or bacteria you are more likely to get ill because you are worse at fending it off if you get hypothermic. That's why most languages associate the word 'cold' with a respiratory viral infection.Is there more virus and bacteria in people who get cold?
Why? Just out of curiosity. I'm sure there's lots of evidence to support taking the leader's jersey whenever you can, and vice versa. Or do you see today as just a one-off b/c of the weather?
The correct answer is no. In most languages there's a big bad wolf too.You don't get more but with the same amount of virus or bacteria you are more likely to get ill because you are worse at fending it off if you get hypothermic.

I think it would be more true to say “Froome tended to wait until the first major mountain stage to take the lead.” The exception to that was 2017 when G won the “prologue.”Froome usually had the yellow jersey in his possession by the first rest day. Thomas waited a bit longer to take yellow but GVA was kind of a non-factor anyways.
In his 2017 Vuelta win, Froome had the red jersey for 19stages. In the 2017 Tour Sky had the yellow jersey for 19stages.
I don't think the teams really care.
The insinuation was that because he might have gotten cold, now he will get sick. If you don't have a virus/bacteria cold temperatures don't make you sick.Not sure what you mean. A cold is virus, but then sometimes people just catch a chill/get hypothermic.
True! Although if you get cold enough, it can be quite the shock to your system, and make you more susceptible to getting sick. Also, some people don't recover very well from getting really cold.The insinuation was that because he might have gotten cold, now he will get sick.
