apparently the official statement
Due to the unfavourable weather, the Race Management – by agreement with the Commissaires Panel – has decided to neutralize the race in the stretch of route between Ovada and Arenzano (subject to further assessment of the weather conditions in Arenzano). The race time of the breakaways and their lead over the chasing group will be "frozen" in Ovada and the status quo will then be resumed in Arenzano, where the race will start again around 2:30pm.The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.0 -
Old school MSR. That guy doesn't even have leg, arm or feet warmers. Heavyweights of old.
137km to race when they restart at 2.30. May struggle with the live pictures if conditions are so bad.
Last time two times a race was run under extreme conditions - Lombardy with Gilbert and Lombardy with JRod. They were EPIC. The Lombardy win with Gilbert showed Nibali descending like a demon in the wet. crashed but was back up and on it again - fortune favours the brave.
Offredo likes the harsh conditions.

Sky are running a live chat on their website.
Some have suggested that they should set up the turbos on the bus to keep warm.
:roll:
They claim their bus isn't 'that big'. They would say that wouldn't they“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -

I would think they all have seats, a heater and a stash of dry kit, that's all i'd care about."I have a lovely photo of a Camargue horse but will not post it now" (Frenchfighter - July 2013)0 -

Just watching the Sky live text chat.
Maybe they are using the mini death star at this racePain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.0 -

EBH looks so young do you reckon he'll have to pay kids fare on the bus. The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns

David Millar posting pictures of Garmin riders with ice/snow stuck on their helmets.
All the riders have aged approximately 10 years since they left Milan."I have a lovely photo of a Camargue horse but will not post it now" (Frenchfighter - July 2013)0 -

As I said on twitter, it could come down to which team leaders have the toughest domestiques."I have a lovely photo of a Camargue horse but will not post it now" (Frenchfighter - July 2013)0 -
