More than likely touch of wheels,crosswinds maybe ?

"maybe it was somebody's fault, maybe not, either way it's just not clear,"

In hindsight, having a breakaway stage where kilometer zero is on a narrow, windswept causeway is a recipe for disaster.

It reminded me of the Passage du Gois start in the 1999 TdF!

Was reading Roche blog last night and he said predicted crosswinds turned into a tailwind.They were doing 70k ! Turned into carnage.

Seems no decision yet. Organisers want the whole stage, some riders unhappy and want the Extreme Weather Protocol invoked. I'm guessing that caution will prevail and some of the route will be cut

Can you bet on it ?

 

[Adam4868]

Perhaps they'll award a special jersey for it.

Sh1te odds for Brambilla ?

TDG non-starter today.

Big dayout today, looks like a bit of bad weather forecast too, so adding more difficulty descending.

"Stage 16 of the 2021 Giro d'Italia has been shortened, with two climbs taken out due to extreme weather."

I've got work so highlights for me...maybe make it better being shorter ? More chance of somebody going for it hopefully

 

[Grant Fondo]

They'll be glad its shorter without those two climbs, looks bloody miserable, cold and wet, yuck

Vincenzo's old legs are going well, but there's 25k to go...........
