a warm kit can win races (spoiler)

Fleche Wallone had an abysmal weather day (snow, rain, 5°C, only 44 finishers).

One of the warmest dressed riders actually won, Stephen Williams. Distanced everyone on the iconic Mur de Huy in spite of all that clothing. Yes, that's a thermal cap under his helmet.

Makes me feel a little better about my leg and arm warmers usually worn until the ambient temperature is 65°F or so.
