@fabribernie Yeah, I know, so stage 10 was a story about that. They don't like it the morning of the race. Ok, so what about 1 week before? They don't like it because the weather can change. Ok... so when can we do it? Basically never....

@HansenAdam mr. Hansen since when is a bit of cold enough to stop a race? why did the riders even decide to become pros if they are scared of a bit of cold and rain? we have seen amateurs riding their bikes today and being passed by team buses. pros don’t love the sport as much as them.

@HansenAdam Sorry Adam, But I believe that the CPA have reacted very slowly to this. The weather modeling which I assume you have access to clearly showed even last week what the state of play is. This should not have been a night before decision, this should have been acted on days ago.

@tayloran The argument we get. Morning of the race is too late. A week before the weather can change. It's not as easy as you think to negotiate. But we try that flow, we bring it up and nothing comes from it, we try again, nothing comes from it, then again in the morning of stage 10.…

@HansenAdam Ignore the armchair critics mate. You are doing what the majority of the peloton want. Those who want to race their bikes for a living and entertain. Keep up the good fight

@HansenAdam I've heard from multiple riders that the vote was surrounding the removal of the Croix de Coeur portion. Was removing the start a consolation compromise between RCS and the CPA?

@HansenAdam How do you feel about that a vote among the teams was needed to invoke the protocol? Isn't it the job of the jury to apply it when the weather conditions match the criteria...?

@HansenAdam It's rain, Adam. Not snow. It's rain. Are you telling that all the 300 and 400€ rain jackets that the sponsors are selling us are worthless? Don't they have neoprene gloves and all that stuff?😅

@HansenAdam @daniellloyd1 I want to know more about the 10% that want to ride in freezing rain! 😂 Where are they from and where do they train such that they prefer riding in freezing rain over literally any other weather.
