Clear your work schedule, @Frosty @Gen @Vetplant @Chris_

It's the Dolomites tomorrow - exceeding 200 kms and just over 5,500 m vert. Eish, this'll warm me up! ????

I thought about this yesterday. Todays steep descents, and there's a few of them, will be super sketchy in anything close to the weather we saw yesterday

We might still see some fireworks.. Who knows....tomorrow is a rest day, hey, so we might see some audacious racing yet?

While we wait, background on the new frame on the block that won atop the Zoncolan:

Astana going to apply more Movistar style tactics like they did on the road to Zoncolan?

 

It never ceases to amaze me when a team does so much work and then be so completely absent in the finale.

And both those soldiers were in yesterdays break.

They won't let the team go down without a fight
