'Dale Posted March 4, 2021 Share Pogačar was mixing it up at the sharp end when Roglič won and the rainbow jersey did his premature thing. Let’s also search the heavens as there may be precipitation. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetplant Posted March 4, 2021 Share Pogačar was mixing it up at the sharp end when Roglič won and the rainbow jersey did his premature thing. Let’s also search the heavens as there may be precipitation.Precipitation seems unlikely, but they will be thankful for not having the scorcher they had last year with temps touching 37°C IIRC. That's no problem for Pretoria folk, I know, but these snowflakes can't handle a bit of sunshine you know. The wind might bring the fun this time round... EDIT: COMIC SANS didn't pull through on the first attempt. It is really just said in jest. These guys and gals are tough.

'Dale Posted March 6, 2021 Share The winner of today's race will also take home a hefty prize pot after a crowdfunding campaign was launched to give the women the same prize money as the men. After the campaign raised 22,000 euros, the women will actually be taking home more than the men.
