Stage 3 of the 2024 Tour of the Alps officially the coldest race day so far this year!

Cold, wet and damp the conditions on stage 3 of the 2024 Tour of the Alps this Wednesday can best be described as miserable. In fact, they are the worst conditions of the year so far.

According to a graphic shown on screen, the average temperature for the riders today is just 5 degrees Celsius, nearly a degree and a half colder than the previous record holder for 2024, which was Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. Stage 4 of Tirreno-Adriatico and three days of racing from Paris-Nice are also included near the top of the list but nothing comes close to the misery on the roads this Wednesday.
