So it seems that many patient sprinters won't get their chance to get their hands on the rainbow bands after all.. Seems a bit wrong to me, the challenge of climbing a hill, beating nature and all that is good, building a hill just to climb it, not so sure.
Surely just a quick glance at an atlas would have alerted the UCI to the pan-flatness of Qatat before they awarded them the roads for 2016? Money talks I guess.
