traffic on the boucles du sud ardeche hill

Boucles du sud ardeche is over. Hard race... 200km with lots of climbs and 5 circuits with two steep climbs. I gave up about 60kms before the finish when AG2R started to set the pace. Just before there was a kind of traffic on the very narrow road on the hill and I had to stop and lost a few positions. Then I had to catch the first group and when I managed to do it the pace was high and the race for me and other 100 riders was over. If I was to give a few positive comments after the race, I would say that it was the first race after the flu, it's the end of February and to be at the front was possible with a little more luck.
