He must be over heating or ill

Quite a hilly and hot first stage, wasn't it ~37C at the stage start and forecast to be ~30C at finish?

A lot of riders were talking about the heat today - pretty nobody has had a chance to any heat acclimatisation this season

Time limit should be about 45 minutes, right?

Cav gets over the climb 3 mins behind the peloton. I think this is going to be a long day for him, but not OTL long

Cut of maybe as high As 40 min+ ......

He just puked on the downhill

Minus 37 isn’t hot 😉
I genuinely don’t know how they did it, I did a fell race in 27 degrees on Tuesday and my HR went higher than it has in 25 years whilst going downhill at a fairly moderate pace (I had to stop and walk)

It won’t stop Kirby for naming him as a potential stage winner!🤣
He’s clearly unwell.

Well that's taken the jam out of my doughnut.

Cav still losing time on the descent :-(
EF are at the front trying to keep the break catchable without having to blow up on climbs

Going out on the bike on my usual rolling routes when it was ~32C was far less suffering when I was 73-80Kg, but it's absolute torture since I went 90-95Kg in last year or so, if I go out at all it's a sub hour pancake route at very gentle pace.
Racing in this sort of heat, even with support, madness!

Only if you've got someone who can legit finish this stage off. I don't think you'd win any mates in the peloton by riding to put Cav out today.

I don't think there's any need. You'd also make a lot of enemies

Over 4 minutes now, but according to Robbie Mc it’s going to be around 48 minutes cut off.
Brother Ion wins the second KoM as well.

No, I'd just value relations with many of the other teams / riders more than you. There are so many ways being a bit of a dick can come back to bite you

I also think given how hard the first few stages are, as a sprinters team you'd be looking to take it easy

He’s having issues hanging onto his own teammates. Hope whatever the issue is isn’t a long term thing, surviving one day is tough but doing it for a few days will really take its toll.
