Cycling is facing the brunt of climate change. It depends on countryside to create its spectacle

I think it's inevitable that the entire season will have to be rearranged so that all racing happens in the spring and fall. Summer racing is eventually going to kill someone.

Yeah - I'm also pretty sure that the Tour de France this year already has killed people. They rode in a massive heat wave and we had millions of people out there for hours in the sun wanting to watch the peloton.
