The Pirate Posted February 10, 2010 Share Could yesterday's race 3 at the Challenge Ciclista a Mallorca in Spain be the worst ever in the pro peleton ? 90, yes 90, pro's pulled out and 45 pro's finished outside the time limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willehond Posted February 10, 2010 Share Linus Gerdemann's training in SA paid off. Well done to him! Not sure what part of "worst conditions" actually applies to his SA training unless of course you mean dodging taxi's and muggers??Willehond2010-02-10 06:00:55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splat Posted February 10, 2010 Share I meant general training in Sunny SA.I dont know where he did his 'worst conditions' training, unless he put his rollers in a walk in fridge with a big fan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoreTrails Posted February 10, 2010 Share Ag shame, poor lycra bandits. Maybe they should try a winter cyclo cross event for a challenge... Perhaps the mist is what slowed them down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
