The day’s racing on the Megève Mont Blanc started out okay with about 3000 competitors but there were quite a few crashes and, tragically, one of the cyclists died when he went off the road and into a ravine. That race was completed but they cancelled the remaining race. You really fly down the hills and there’s always a risk of crashing, but it was a very sobering experience.
I’ve attached a couple of photos, the first of me looking fairly fresh, the second, on an uphill section, looking a little less fresh.
I’m up tomorrow at about 5am to get to Cluses on the other side of Chamonix. The race runs to Les Carroz.
