🇮🇹 #TreValliVaresine ☔️ This is how the weather looks like…
UPDATE! Men's Tre Valli Varesine cancelled due to heavy downpour

Although earlier today the women's peloton faced tough weather conditions and a lot of rain at Tre Valli Varesine it's been decided conditions are now too bad for the men to continue, as the riders have been sent back to the team buses.
According to several teams, in the last minutes it has been confirmed that the race will be delayed and start at 12:20CET whilst two laps have been cut. This will shorten the length of the race from 200 kilometers to, likely, 168; but it won't change the aspect of the race. With the difficult weather conditions it will be very selective and it will be decided on the same roads. Tadej Pogacar and Remco Evenepoel feature among the star-studded field.
UPDATE
At 110km to go, the men's race was paused initially. Although as conditions showed no signs of any improvement, the decision has now been made by race organisers to cancel this year's edition and send the riders back to the safety and warmth of the team bus.

- 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

- Agreed except the length of climbs, pretty sure you can stretch that to about a km unless we’re talking about half a dozen in quick succession.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- A bit much to suggest that Pogacar is better than MvdP on most terrains. The only terrain Pogacar is clearly better is long climbs, on any other terrain they are pretty even except flat cobbles and short and steep climbs (max a few 100 mtrs) where MvdP is clearly better than Pogacar.Velovibes21-12-2024

- That’s the most stupid thing I’ve read for a long time, did you not go to school and learn even the most basic physics? Aero depends on one thing only, drag, drag depends speed and the relationship is squared and apart from maybe at zero or the speed of sound or due to side winds that relationship is valid at all speeds, it dies not “suddenly” start at a magic number. Very simply, the faster you go the more the effect becomes important. If you think 25km/h is needed to have noticeable effects you’re delusional, athletic WR are cancelled as soon as winds top 2m/s that’s 7.2km/h, why because the assistance is already too important at that speed and the times prove it. You don’t even consider wind which can significantly increase the effective speed for aerodynamics and you underestimate speed of climbs, 6% is ridden more at 30 than 25km/h, a speed at which early generation high rims were considered to have more advantages than disadvantages. And finally, as in normal races you can’t just switch bikes according to terrain, it’s pretty pointless to discuss climbs as a separate situation, the aero will have justified itself plenty during the rest of the ride.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- If you look at how much TP progressed in that 1 1/2 years you can no longer say that’s nothing. If Remco improves as much he’s a challenger!Mistermaumau21-12-2024
