Yeah, because you've easily got 10 seconds to react when all of a sudden an obstacle appears 2 meters in front of you

Incredible win by Nibali. He has now won 4 grand tours and 3 monuments. What a legend he is

[heywoodu 15,174]

Well this looks promising.

Aaaaaaand it's gone. Race shortened and there's only some cobbles in the local lap at the end.

 

[heywoodu 15,174]

If it keeps going like this, with these bullshit extreme weather protocal calls, I'm guessing Paris - Roubaix will have a maximum of one cobble section by 2025, when Milan - San Remo is not longer than 150km and the Tour de France can have exactly one HC climb, because otherwise it's 'too hard for the human body'.

I wonder if there is one single pro athlete right now who has ever illegally used a motor. I really have the feeling the UCI is overshooting the target.
