The climb to Juvass

Climbing from Lom to Juvass proved at least as tough as expected.

After the start, the main field darted towards the sprint and moved smoothly up to the exit for Juvass. Thereafter, it was all scattered up the hill.

Climbing 15 kilometres at an angle of 11 degrees is indeed tiresome, but the surprise comes on the descend: I smashed my previous speed record - the new is 77 km/h, while others got flat tires from overheated rims.

Resultwise, positions are more or less unchanged for the members of team Rye, which by the way is not a team because it takes four to make a team, and we're only three.
