    Cancellara might be licking his lips at the prospect of a nice dry descent.

    Ouch! Drinkwater fails to get around first corner. Looks like some road rash on his l. leg.

    Just a standard Leicester City sliding tackle. ;-)

    to bad about the conditions ruining an expected event

    there will be no correlation between the winner/podium of this ITT and the best ITT'ers

    If it was dry at the beginning and wet at the end then something unexpected might happen, but not the other way around.

    Yep.

    There's also the possibility that the best TTers will get slightly drier roads.

    Froome was saying the climbs are steep but short, and he didn't see any of the main TT riders having much issue with them.

    Seems to be a mix of wet and dry road now. Looked like it was improving as well.

    Dan Craven does not lose races. He just spends more time enjoying them than everyone else.

    He's my hero.

    But in all seriousness, so only loose ~13 minutes is a good effort on a road bike with no aero kit.

    He *should* be riding negative splits and faster in the latter parts of the TT.
