    Well, the peloton is moving... They've moved somewhere where it hasn't rained...

    I could really do with LL Sanchez' Oakleys. I'm boogerd if I can find replacement lenses for the old Radarlock

    It did seem like quite a silly question.

    it did seem to go from monsoon output on the tarmac to as dry as you like without any in between. But I guess it's warmer in those foreign climes.

    Rain at the finish is mad. Brave/crazy attack late on could work.

    I remember a stage once when loads of riders were taken down slipping on the painted adverts at the finish when it rained hard

    The splitscreen there clearly showed heavy rain at the finish and no rain at all where the riders are, 5km away (probably less as the crow flies)... it's really not that controversial.

    Bennett pipped by Viviani after coming through late and being forced slightly off his line by another rider. Horrible run in to the line in the pouring rain.

    Weird stage. It was like watching the whole thing backwards in terms of excitement.

    Bennett gutted by that result but he had no lead out unlike Viviani
