'Dale Posted April 27, 2017 Share The riders who survived the cold and wet conditions have quickly disappeared into their team buses. Some final riders have reached the finish now. There will be a long wait for the hot showers on the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted April 27, 2017 Share Kung has been hit by injuries and fractures in recent years, so this win was special for the 23 year-old. He fractured a vertebrae in the 2015 Giro d’Italia and then fractured his left collarbone and iliac bone in the Swiss TT championships last summer, meaning he missed the Rio Olympics. “After all my problems of the last few years, It’s great to win,” he said.

'Dale Posted April 27, 2017 Share “I think the other guys suffered more than me. I think a 50kg climbers suffers more than me in conditions like that...“I know the roads here and I knew the last climb, so I told myself to go for it.” Kung takes a win at Romandie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted April 27, 2017 Share That weather though!!!!They eliminated the first 24 kms of the race due to the extreme weather (sharpdescent) or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissVan Posted April 27, 2017 Share That weather though!!!! Well at least tomorrow looks drier in Payerne (Start and finish) tomorrow and the max temp is about double what it was for them today. Cant imagine anything worse than having to ride in that weather for the time they have to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissVan Posted April 28, 2017 Share Been snowing here all morning as well but most of the snow melts immediately as well. I am sure there by you it is not the case however.It's bucketing down here, at least 10cm thick here in the low lands and causing chaos with all the broken trees.... trees thought it was spring and in full leaf which the fresh snow collects on until something snaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
