Snow Day for the Peloton

Stage 3 of Paris-Nice was cancelled due to heavy snow. VeloNews reports:

Snow and cold forced organizers to cancel Wednesday’s third stage at Paris-Nice. Conditions worsened midway through the seven-climb stage, prompting officials to neutralize, and then cancel the stage.

“The road was very slippery and safe conditions could not be assured,” the ASO’s Christian Prudhomme said, explaining the decision to first neutralize and then cancel the stage. Road conditions worsened as the course climbed the Cote des Écharmeaux at 714m (2,343 feet), a little more than halfway through the lumpy, 168km third stage from Cusset to Mont Brouilly.

One of the Most Bizarre Crashes in Cycling Just Happened

There was a serious and very bizarre crash in Stage 4 of China’s Colorful Yunnan Gryffindor International Cycling Race. 17 riders were hospitalized.

What’s really bizarre is that it was a head-on collision between two groups of sprinters.

The leading group of sprinters seem to have accidentally been led off course and took a slight detour on a side road around the finish line and then doubled back and sprinted for the finish from the opposite direction, just as the second group sprinted from the other (correct) direction.
