Wow, TDF Breaking News
Just saw the news on TDF where a stage was called due to unsuitable road conditions. The road washed out due to rain and snow. Times were taken at the top... no descent was made. Amazing Alps weather.

Watching the TDF right now but yes yesterday was interesting. Once I saw the snow plows I could understand why they canceled that part of the stage.

Yeah, first image I saw of the big end loader moving the slush off the path and I knew they couldn't go on like that.

I've always liked the Colombian riders, like Alberto Londono, Luis ‘Lucho’ Herrera, Jose Patrocinio Jimenez and Fabio Parra since the late '70s and early '80s when they came up to ride in the "Red Zinger" / "Coors Classics" (which Jimenez won in '82) with a focus on the race's climbing. Now they've apparently evolved with more guys like Parra who can power on the flats well enough not to lose their advantages in ET gained in the climbs. So congratulations to Egan Bernal from a yank
