According to what I am reading and seeing (vlogs, news reports etc) the heat/conditions in Tokyo are debilitating. Should I paste a few links FYI? Must agree, the riders were carrying spare bottles, Nic at 1 stage had 1 bottle in his back pocket too, Cant remember which rider it was but on the final incline he took what looked like a 2L bottle of ice cold water from someone on the side of the road just to throw all over himself, So I doubt the temps were that low!!
J Wakefield Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 As reference here is some temp data from a file: 1st pic average with the max temp of the road race 2nd is the average and max on top of climb Wayne pudding Mol and DieselnDust 2
JCA12 Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Flag dropped and Carla Oberholzer goes out on a break with 2 others.
JCA12 Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Only a few km in and the butchering has already started 5 leaders nearly 7 minutes ahead of Peloton, 122k to go

I really wanted him to medal because it’s good for cycling but also because I love it when domestiques shine PS pogacar for green next year J Wakefield and Vetplant 1 1

Jewbacca Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) It's cool to see SA represented in both the break and at the front of the Peleton. Also good to see Vera up the road, a regular face on the local race circuit for years. I see both have subsequently popped.... ???? Edited July 25, 2021 by Jewbacca DJuice 1
lechatnoir Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 what are the chances of an all-orange podium? Hup Holland!
