    What are they going to do if the climbs is out ...drive round and restart with same gaps?

    Probably hire Quintana to derny pace them up and down then determine the results on a completely arbitrary basis.

    I think that was the idea – riders in buses over the pass, the re-start with time gaps.
    Part of the problem, as well as only 3 deg C, rain and strong winds, was apparently that at the top of the Passo delle Radici, there was cloud too, no visibility.
    However the forecast is that by the time the riders reach the top, for a couple of hours the rain will more or less stop (before re-commencing), the cloud will have cleared and the temp risen to 5-6 deg C. Still windy, though, about 35 km/h with gusts over 50 Km/h (but tailwind).

    So are they cutting it or not? Seems very confused.

    Looks thoroughly unpleasant today but not unusually dangerous so far.

    The start town was SCANDIano, it's filthy wet, cold and windy and yet Mads P isn't looking happy. I'm worried :(

    On the other hand, Cort looks like he's gone full viking

    He doesn't need to be happy, he just needs to be less unhappy than everyone else.

    Oh my giddy aunt

    One of the other Ineos riders winning it by mistake somehow feels like the Giroest option, now you mention it

    (For anyone catching up later, Sivakov has gone off the front of the bunch...)

    Is that 4 Bahrain riders with a minute over the peloton on the descent? Ah - 3 plus Sivakov.
