heywoodu 13,499 Posted April 16, 2018 #191 Share Posted April 16, 2018 16 minutes ago, dcro said: In fact, only 12km of the climb were used last year as the higher parts were snowed in. Weather is thankfully much more pleasant this time around. And that is the average gradient, yes, though steepest parts are reportedly within last 10 km (last 3 km in particular). I seem to remember the disappointment about the last (hardest) part having to be scrapped last year. Well, I'll be watching, of course for Oscar Riesbeek who was so impressive yesterday If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

heywoodu 13,499 Posted April 17, 2018 #193 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) 90 degree turn like 50 meters after the finish of a mass sprint stage in Croatia That almost caused some crashes Edited April 17, 2018 by heywoodu If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

heywoodu 13,499 Posted April 18, 2018 #194 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Valverde is rather consistent in the Fleche Wallone final Quote Alejandro Valverde's climbing times on Mur de Huy: 2018: 2:52 2017: 2:53 2016: 2:52 2015: 2:53 2014: 2:41 (ALL-TIME RECORD) 2006: 2:51 It was good enough in 2006 + 2014-2017, but today Alaphilippe was stronger.

Gigs 68 Posted April 19, 2018 #197 Share Posted April 19, 2018 That climb was really cool. When I see stages like that in small races I always wish those kind of climbs could be located in somewhere closer to France, Italy or Spain so one day they could be used in a grand tour. That said, it was still great to watch. dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
