    Correct. They should have stopped the snow.

    If it was football, he wouldn't be outside for nearly 200 miles.

    Pablo Lastras looking bloody miserable in the break and somehow appears to be much wetter than the other riders!

    Cannondale still a real presence on the front of the Peleton. I think they are going to have a good season if they can stay up for it in these conditions.

    Boonen is a hard man, he probably knew this was not his day... not wroth risking it with Flanders and Roubaix coming... he just made up an excuse for the microphones.. had it been the Roubaix, he would have been there...

    Lightweight.

    Good to see you back Tusher.

    Yes I think Boonen lost his flahute status a few years ago.

    He has never won MSR. Time is not on his side.

    I just wonder what people will be saying about the winner in years to come. Respect because he won at the end of a very tough day weather wise, or not so much respect as the field was depleted and the course shortened?

    85ks and the break at 5mins. Going to be caught easy.

    This ES commentators voice is so annoying.

    EDIT: actually both of them.

    Turning over to French or even Rai.

    Depends on the popularity and style of the winner is my guess

    Fair point. P-R or RVV and he wouldn't have jacked, it's in his blood.

    I think it's Smith and Backstedt. Maggie told his worst day on a bike story a short while ago. i think i last heard it at the 2010 Fleche Wallone

    I think today's race deserves a one off "harman's" status. Team OPQS suffering from very thin blood. Cav will be used to the cr@p weather though.

    Eurosport are reading a few tweets out, guess they will have to miss that gem though
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    For me, the important thing with MSR is the length, so this shortening of the course has really taken my enthusiasm for the race away somewhat. It's a brutal race today, obviously but it's not MSR in it's truest form.

    Good skills from Cav tailing the team car - know how he feels being that short

    Gilbert has superglued his hand to the team car. Apparently it is a side effect from cortisone abuse
