"Really? Do you really think that a team chrono passes here? Are they joking?" This was the reaction with which Nicholas Roche, corridor of Team Sky and Chris Froome's partner, protested through the social network Twitter after seeing In situ The route that tomorrow will run the prologue stage of the Cyclist return to Spain, a Crontrarreloj by teams of 7.4 kilometers that crosses wood and sand catwalks.
Chris Froome himself put images to his partner's words up A tweet With the images of the tour. Both he and many other runners have shown his disbelief after examining the layout, directing his criticisms of the organization of Cycling round to spain for devising a prologue stage that runs for 4 kilometers by beach sand.
The sand is a more own land to enjoy with a fat bike that to compete in one of the great international cycling rounds with a road bike. In view of the complaints, which focused especially on the possible falls and accidents that the runners could have in those 4 kilometers of sand, the return organization has gathered urgently to study the situation.
Since it is not possible to change the layout of the stage, the solution they have adopted is that the target times of the prologue stage will have no effect on the general general classification (yes in the team classification). That is, cyclists will not see their security compromised trying to scratch the chrono for a few seconds and can relax during those 4 kilometers of beach sand.
It remains to be seen if tomorrow the idea of carrying a cycling round about asphalt by wooden and beach sand does not translate into an accident for the runners.
