rip legs

I don't think that's cyclable on road bikes.

>>78220262
It is, they do an annual race
I think for the Giro it needs asphalt because now there's a lot of concrete, but they did it for the Zoncolan so why not for this?

inb4 froome attacks ass on the seat at 20km/h

Zoncolan is perfectly cyclable, max gradient is like 22%. They also used compact (50 teeth) cranks. Hell I've done some 25% sections.
30%+ are almost impossible because of cadence. Unless they change for mountain bike ratios.

i just watch for the scenery anyway

>>78220393
fact is it's in the middle of a natural park, probably can't be asphalted

if you have 34 chainring and 34 cassette then cadence of 80 = 10kph. Could do this climb on a road bike (very slowly)

All teams would probably boycott the stage.

why would anyone want to do this

LMAO WTF
