weather and the TTT
I'm looking out of my window in Northern France today and
the weather looks very threatening, I can see storms throwing a spanner in the TTT this afternoon. |

That's what they've been saying. Early teams may sneak by. Late teams (all the ones expected to do well) will likely be running in heavy rain and strong wind. Should be interesting. Bob C. |

There off! it is wet but not raining at the start but there is a big thunderstorm between Cambrai and Arras (must have been the one that caught me half an hour ago). The last 20 km are into a strong headwind. |

It's cool how this stuff is playing out. The TTT rule comes into effect, so the strong TTT teams put the hammer down on stage 3 to get even. The weather threatens the afternoon starters (at least that's what I read early this morning, although it seems to be raining on the start now) so that it favors one of the earlier starters, maybe a team with a high-GC sprinter like Lotto. The big guns mark eachother in the bad weather and loose a little time to some non-contender's team, but extend their lead over Mayo too. A non-GC rider/sprinter gets the yellow and his team rides like hell to keep it until stage 12. Postal rode it's TTT yesterday so it could get every second and more that they could. |

At the moment T-Mobile is 47 seconds down on Mayo's EE team at the 19km point. T-Mobile had a puncture but they are riding in awful weather. The Posties have just started in very poor conditions. |

It would be really cool to look out my window and see Northern France, til then I'll settle for the fog and drizzle of a 'marine layer' As it played out it looks like first and last teams got the best of the weather. |

Nice to visit, dunno if I'd want to live there. I've got too much of the dutch and english blood for that climate. Gimme a cold, blustery day and I'm a rocket. |
