Greipel's plan to test himself on Olympic circuit hampered by road closures
Bad weather delays road works
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Andre Greipel picked the wrong day ꧙to attempt a reconnaissance of the route for the Olympic road race, with road works held up by bad weather closing access to the course.
Greipel was in Surrey on Wednesday, along with German teammates 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Danilo Hondo, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:John Degenkolb and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marcel Sieberg with the day holding much promise. The 15.5ജkm Box Hill ci🐽rcuit will be raced nine times on July 28 in the bid for Olympic gold.
"ꦚReady to see the Olympic circuit," the German tweeted which was immediately responded to via the twittersphere with warnings of the 🔯road closures.
Perhaps the warnings went unheeded with Greipel soon following up with:
"Boxhill closed? Hidden came𝕴ra somewhere," with an image of Hondo, Degenkolb and Sieberg standing beside their bikes behind the barricades bl𒈔ocking the road.
Wednesday's misfortune follows reports that the Italian women's team was ♏also denied access to the road due to the same closures.
Griepel is one of the few top sprinters not at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro d'Italia which begins this weekend. He is instead looking to emulate his 2011 efforts at the Tour de France, where 🍎he won his maiden stage at the Grand Boucle, before representing Germany at the London Games.
