    Riders are on the teambusses. Saw some big men cry just now. All are frozen corpses. Right decision to neutralise.

    The new aero helmets look daft, but I guess they may actually be a little warmer in conditions like this!

    Conditions on the other side are dry, bright and about 6 degrees from what I am reading.

    Come on Rick, you can do better than that, especially after chastising people for steak jokes.

    I wonder how well Sky's Rapha kit is holding up to that weather :wink:

    It probably all fell to pieces.

    Watching RAI at the moment. Pretty awful conditions being shown.
    Wet at the finish, too.

    Team Blanco boss Eric Dekker said that it was absolute madness riders were crying getting into the bus.Koen de Kort compared the circumstances to being on wintersport and being like a biathlon in which he gos on to say if it is a biathlon "can i be shot first". Nicki Terpstra twittered that "he,s Frozen"

    85km. Fresh riders. 7:10 gap. Definitely not a foregone conclusion.
