It feels like you're pedalling inside one big mobile oven

Monday, August 30 Stage 3: Marbella to Malaga, 157km
Last Night my Ag2r La Mondiale team stayed in one of those 'mega hotels' in the centre of Marbella. Our hotel had over 500 bedrooms and it felt pretty weird to be standing in the foyer sweating in our cycling gear as people were walking around the place in swimming togs and flip flops.
It's frustrating to see everybody on holidays, looking forward to the sun, when you're silently hoping it might rain or at least cool down a bit.
I've already said in my Tour diary that I never complain about the heat and that in fact I love riding in warm weather but this Vuelta has been unbelievably hot. We are racing in 45-48 degree Celsius heat and riding in the peloton feels like you're pedalling inside one big mobile oven.
