Subject: What's With Cunego?
Today's stage was screwy because the big climb was cut out. Any bets
that tomorrow Cunego and Simoni are going to attack each other and
drop everyone else?

It would have been a classic breakaway stage. The nufenen is long and
high, but not that steep.
And the descent and the long flat section would have doomed any
serious GC breakaway.
The decisive stage is today. The final Grimsel climb is even less
steep, however.

Big climbs early in a stage seem to have little effect, the peloton toddles
over en masse.

You wrote that without any base of reference I consider others to be racist.
I asked you where, when en whom. You didn't answer (surprise, surprise). So
I ask you again. Where? When? Whom?

I didn't see any photos yet through I imagine cyclingnews will have
them sooner or later. I have seen hail damage that knocked large dents
in cars with strong bodywork so I'm not complaining about the
decisions of the race directors - just saying that you can't tell
anything about the race now because this was likely to be a pivotal
stage and now tomorrow will be an attacking stage instead of a hanging-
on-to-your-lead stage.

But did you see the size of the dents the hailstones left on the Unibet
Team Car? No wonder they cut the stage short.
