So it remains the case

it is a cold stage. But in the beautiful descent from Stelvio down towards Bormio every meter it is warmer, the moment the sun is shining full into the road in and the temperatures are already below double digits. It is really warm on the descent but still barely, so the boys and girls on the wheels should wear today for the runs again pretty much everything they have there.

The decision is made:

Currently -2 ° C on the Stelvio, sun, light wind. Thus, the organizers have decided we drive the stage as planned and the Stelvio.

the alternative program for today is 2501 meters high and thus a good bit less high than the Stelvio 2757 meters high. The road is one of the most beautiful mountain roads of Switzerland, but are on the rise well 2.5 kilometers to drive on unpaved road.
