It might be worth looking at making the race on a Saturday instead of a Sunday. Yes, lots of non cyclists might complain, but I am thinking of people who spend money to get here. Then if the weather is not suitable on the Saturday, you can at least postpone it to the Sunday. We see that the weather can be chalk and cheese from one day to the next. So maybe this is a way of looking at the race as a whole week end. The wind is hectic, but if we raced yesterday, it would just have been the heat. As for the protest action....it was not a surprise, believe me. This was discussed at nauseam between the parties that be. I am talking political level, not the organisers. Maybe there were communication between the organisers and the political parties, but if there wasn't..... there should have been. Like I said, this day was chosen to give the protest maximum effect. People are annoyed and disappointed...some relieved.....everyone works through it in their own way.This forum is one where we can vent and discuss and bicker.....don't bite each other!
