Not time for much of a report today. But I don't think I recall the weather influence a stage as directly as today since the stage a decade or so ago when there were very high cross winds and the peloton was split and LA was the only top rider that made the front pack. At the time, there was a big controversy about whether they results should be nullified and LA made some sort of smart alec comment about people need to pay attention during the race. Today the weather caused the peloton to have to take it very easy in the last few miles. rather than give an advantage to the bunch, the wet roads made them slow down more than Narvadauskas (asp?) who was essentially time trialing of the front. WIthout the weather, the peloton would have caught the Garmin Sharp guy (NOT ONGNA TYPE THAT AGAIN!) before the end.
I am glad for the three kilometer rule. when it was first madeI didnt like it, but watching it in play the last few years I think it was a good thing.
on to the ITT.
