2019 Goats League - *CLOSED* Climb 2 - Col de Marie-Blanque from the west

[Whorty]

Last week for attempts at this wee beastie

Recovery ride for me today as legs a bit tender from stage 3 yesterday ..... hoping to attack this bad boy tomorrow or Wednesday. Will probably just be looking to set a time, rather than a fast time

Back loading all the climbing on the last half of the ride was just a little bit naughty

@Aleman : 47:10

That stage found me screaming at my PC as you and the others started to chase me up that last hill

@Aleman 45.10 for me

I've done this twice in real life and it's every bit as tough as I remembered!

Cracking time @Del C You're clearly a better climber than me

Maybe but I think it’s pretty close really.

On the Zoncolan, I caught you about 2km from the top and then managed to get a gap, but you were 30s up on me around 4 to 5k out.

I think you’d done the Marie Blanque after racing the 2 days before?

I think we’ll be close throughout. Next one is a long climb so anything could happen!

@Aleman
1:05:58 for me. Couldn’t finish the first weeks ride last Sunday. And if I did it would have been way worse than Del’s + penalty

Welcome aboard! ... Snuck it in under the wire

No more attempts count towards this ride, it is now closed.
Any late comers will get the time of the slowest rider plus 5%
