Armstrong arrête pour de bon

Lance Armstrong range son vélo définitivement. En janvier dernier, après le Tour Down Under, il avait annoncé la fin de sa carrière internationale. Mais il avait prévu de faire quelques courses aux Etats-Unis et s'aligner également en VTT. Finalement l'épreuve australienne a été la dernière compétition où on l'a vu.

Climate change impacts the, 'Torture Down Under'.

"Stage 4 of the Santos Tour Down Under may have had to be shortened ... but in fire danger conditions that reached an "extreme" rating and with forecast maximum temperatures of 43°C it had in fact been touch and go whether the racing could go ahead at all."

The #TourDownUnder is on in #Adelaide right now, so there are many more #bikes on the road. I have questions and a request for the #roadies that are celebrating the event by getting out on the road.

When you pass other riders, why do you pass at peloton distances? When you come to red lights, why do you just blow through them? When you do these things you make #cycling less safe for the rest of us, either directly or by tarring all the rest of us with the same brush in the minds of motorists.

Please don't.

The Tour Down Under went behind our place yesterday, and unusually it came past again today! First King of the Mountain was there too.

Stinking hot 43°C today so I don't envy the riders. Stay cool.
