Conditions were so bad in yesterday’s Fleche Wallone only a quarter of the field finished.
When Mattias Skjelmose, one of the favourites, abandoned, he was hypothermic, shaking uncontrollably and literally had to be lifted off the bike and carried to the team bus. Fortunately he is OK, but it’s scary how far these guys will push themselves
Video hopefully starts at 30 seconds which shows the abandon in full screen (but it took me years to work out how to embed a video, so getting it to start at a certain point is optimistic!)
