France and many European countries are experiencing extreme heat waves, and its effect can be seen on the Tour de France . Team DSM rider Romain Bardet says this year’s heat in the tour has never been experienced.
The temperature in Carcassonne, the end of Stage 15, was as high as 37 degrees Celsius. "Today was not so good with the heat,” he told Eurosport. “I think it was pretty uncomfortable for everyone.”
He continues, “Sometimes, you could really feel it on the tarmac. At the start, I said, yeah, it’s warm; it’s pretty ok. But when we reached downhill, it was like, whoa! Crazy hot!”. When asked how he felt during the fifteenth stage, he said,” It was about getting us enough drinks and ice.” Bardet is Team DSM’s only hope for GC. He continues to hold his 4th position in overall classification just 3 minutes and 1 second behind Vingegaard.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Bruyneel understands nothing about clean competition.Sweep21-12-2024
- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
