Re: Re:

They have to do all the climb seating down because it'll be impossible instead with this rain.

Oh, bad for Alberto any chance it dries up a bit ?

Excuse number 202 in before the day has finished

Re: Re:

Still raining.. very hard day for them, especially people who like hot. This north wind with rain must be hard.. it is hard here in Burgos without rain...

Good thing is that you have a lot of riders who tend to be better in the rain: Contador, Quintana, Purito, Costa, Pinot.

Is there even any riders who really dislike the rain? Aru?

Quintana like hot, other way is that he has win with snow, rain, when he is by far the stronger... but he prefer good weather. Costa and Pinot are the most benefited IMO.

There is no more rain, but they will pay those km on the rain

it's not so important whether bertie will win today or not, the most important thing is that either way he'll be the strongest on the final hill. mark my words, lol

Reminds me of the old Scottish saying: "If you can't see the hills then it's raining. If you can see the hills, then it's just about to rain".

BTW - I was back home last week and we had glorious weather (for March).

I've had some monster days in the wind up here, done the 3 pistes sportive last year and the wind when going up the Lecht was totally crazy, the 30% gradient was the easiest part compared to the wind.
