Pardon the rather daft question but why are there limits on when riders can get bottles, food etc in a race?0

Grabbing them is a potential risk, you don't need that risk when the race is on.JimD666 said:Pardon the rather daft question but why are there limits on when riders can get bottles, food etc in a race?

This is such a tough day for Mørkøv. All alone in sweltering heat, 11mins behind the peloton with 135km left to go. He'd be OK if he had a Mørkøv with him to nurse him throughWarning No formatter is installed for the format0

I really don't know how they can race in this heat. I did a gentle jog this morning with the last half being in the mid 20s and I'm in full on siesta mode now. I reckon I could manage 20-30 miles tops in that heat at a gentle potter0

I did ok in heat relatively to others once I got accustomed...

Just saw Skujins with 8 bidons in his Jersey, praying nobody cranked the pace up...Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -
Time cut rule change due to the heat - 20% on all stages. That might save Mørkøv.
Feed zones are pretty much anywhere and chuck your bidons whereverWarning No formatter is installed for the format0 -
Gives him an idea of what it is like for fatties like me. Just needs another 20 or so.1

I read somewhere they are governed by heart rate monitors when it’s this hot. Keep it under x per minute0

Put it this way, that + on your 90+ is the same for me, but doing a *lot* of work...Pross said:

I did 105k through Somerset yesterday and it was Too Hot. Touched 30 at some points - it gets really hot on open road. Climbs were horrid. Came back on the Bath to Bristol bike path which was nice and shady though.Pross said:I really don't know how they can race in this heat.

I then went to a cider festival and drank a lot of scrumpy which definitively helped.
Didn't get up early enough to beat the heat this morning so just sat in my parents living room watching the cycling and listening the cricket...0 -
nope.rick_chasey said:I read somewhere they are governed by heart rate monitors when it’s this hot. Keep it under x per minute
its all to do with heat/humidity protocols
PTIs use Wet Bulb Globe readings and its all referenced in a big book what you can and can't do at temperature break those regx and you're at fault. Ref Brecon 3.
The race directors will have similar and its all governed by the race doctors.
this is people's lives you're dealing with so not just a case of boshing off some HR monitor off some random bloke..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Wasn't he referring to how the riders pace themselves, not how the race directors make decisions about protocols.MattFalle said:

Hey Skujins, it's your round

i hope so! unfortunately he's wrong as even the DS are held by individual team doctor protocols that'll be covered by UCI regs, so it'll be a blanket coverage not a randon HR reading on a random day.bobmcstuff said:

Same as my neck of the woods - everyone covered 100% by the same regulations. No changes, no exceptions.
And agree. its v v v tied up in H&S as heat is horribly stupidly ridiculously dangerous. Cold is fine, heat..... not so much..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.
