TDF this week:
Ok, for all you that were bored with flat riding, here comes the first week of some climbing.
Monday
Day off. Stop trying to find it on OLN.
Tuesday
A warm up for the coming mountains. 2 category 4 climbs and a couple sprints. 160km.
(Climbs are rated 1-4, 1 being the most difficult, unless it is not rated, then its one BMF.)
Wednesday
1 category 1 climb, 2 category 2 climbs, 5 category 3 climbs, 1 category 4 climb, plus 2 sprints.
237km.
Thursday
0 category 1 climbs, 1 category 2 climb, 1 category 3 climb, 3 category 4 climbs, plus 2 sprints.
164km.
Friday
2 category 1 climbs, plus 2 sprints. 197.5km.
It's uphill almost the entire day, except after they climb the first major hill, then a decent just to climb the next one. Feel the pain.
If Lance is not in Yellow by today, then we will know who is competition is for sure.
It is usually by now that he takes the Yellow and does not return it (maybe the day before).
Saturday
2 category 1 climbs, 2 category 2 climbs, 2 category 3 climbs, 0 category 4 climbs, plus 2 sprints.
205.5km. Feel the pain!!!
