This year there have been not one but two etapes. And apparently this weekend's was a bit harder than normal.
VCM's sportive correspondent Keith Brooks reports:
"If you thought Sunday's weather was bad then take a look at the Etape du Tour to St Flour….only 1900 finished ( 6000 entries) due to horrendous weather and tales of people stranded in villages and on climbs…they were sending in a fleet of buses to collect them….However didn’t seem to worry Garbriel who battled through in 7.29.00 to come 40th overall!!!! That’s after getting in the top 300 last week on acte 1 up to Alpe d’huez….Wouter Sybrandy was 4th today.
And I thought a shower on a small climb in a chipper in Hampshire was grim."
