Cancellara speaks out for the peloton after snow hits Tirreno-Adriatico

The day after the snow-covered finish on Terminillo, the Tirreno-Adriatico peloton faced a long stage in heavy rain to Porto Sant’ Elpidio and the riders were still debating if it was right and safe to race in the snow and how bad weather conditions have to be before racing is suspended to protect their health. Riders were worried about their safety out on the road and about becoming ill before Milan-San Remo and the spring Classics.
