| Hmmmmm.... I'm a bit concerned that this event might require sub-zero temperatures for them to make the ice. I can't imagine they'd construct an artificial ice installation just for this. | |

Holy. Sh!t!
<Prepares to eat her own words.>
I just came home through Riponne, and there now are 5 or 6 of these massive cooling units between there and the Chateau (see attached photo). I took a look at them up close and they are definitely coolant pumping machines for making artificial ice. The street where the race will be run is already blocked off (except for local traffic) and there are teams of men installing all sorts of protective/scaffolding type equipment.
This is going to be
awesome.
