There had been a landslide as a result of the weather, too. The more we see the road conditions, the worse it all looks. Make absolutely no mistake whatsoever – the organisers have made the correct decision here. It’s horrible, desperate luck for Alaphilippe, but the riders were rightly kept well away from all this.
They’re still untangling this, and meanwhile Eurosport are showing images of a snowplough shovelling thick slush from the road. It’s definitely for the best that nobody was travelling at speed while that was coming down, or this could have been a much grimmer read.
