Hola! Stage 14 of La Vuelta arrived in Andorra to climb the Pyrenees. What a contrast to yesterday? The riders hit the mountains, the rain and the cold in one almighty blast. They battled slippery roads uphill but even more dangerously, the descents – whilst being desperate for warmth. Several riders retired with hypothermia, whilst others clung on to the wheels of their team-mates to get through this massive shock to the system.
Daniele Ratto managed supremely on this arduous stage to take a much deserved win. Here are my drawings:
Tricky descent
Struggling through the mist
Keeping close together
Battling through the rain
Daniele Ratto leads all the way!
Rain, mist and cold!
