    Spent about ten years going to Aberystwyth each summer in mid 1970s to 1980s. Where Steve Williams grew up. A coastal town, there are steep climbs from the seaside up to the university halls of residence at the top. 20 to 25% just in the town. Get out into the Welsh hills behind and to the north and you have steep, narrow lanes that are often very wet, sometimes lots of sleet and snow but the snow rarely stays around as it's usually just above freezing. Perfect preparation for this year's Fleche. Williams was one of just two riders in the final group with leggings and full bad weather kit though he wasn't wearing overshoes

    ‪I ran 400m hurdles in college at a Division 3 school. I wasn’t that fast. However, one year our league championship was in Utah and the weather was nasty. ‬I was happy (like Lance) because I knew it would affect some of the other guys who on any other day would beat me easily. Sure enough, I made the finals and ended up finishing 5th in the league that year. That was a good day. Bring on the nasty weather! ❤

    Skjelmose is Danish. Didn't go well. Pidcock didn't do well. I don't know about the Dutch riders. All these people have these conditions because they are pretty typical in winter in those countries. MvdP is known to not like the rain and cold. In 1980 Hinault won LBL. He is from Bretagne, not very warm but in the winter a lot milder than The Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark. I wonder if people who are used to the cold are actually better in racing through it. From what I read on this in science, many years ago, it does not seem to work that way.

      @@jonathanfreet9099 the riders are good but the team just chooses the wrong riders at the wrong times then also doesnt have cohesion. Sometimes the Spanish riders and Portugeuse riders are attacking one another. They took Morgado out for Fleche Wallon and for Amstel Gold the guy is orders of magnitude better than Almeida. He already got a 5th place at Vlanders. They win because they have Ayuso and Pog who are extremely naturally good. Pogacar doesnt even need a team. The art is winning with whatever team u got.
