Evenepoel was rightfully angry. I can’t imagine what it must have been like for the teams, barely able to see where they were going!

wow... i've never seen anything like this

conditions were stupid. i can't believe they scheduled it so late as to risk having no light.... even if it wasn't raining, the clouds would have made it too dark to be safe

Me neither! And I mean it’s a world tour race! I’ve seen continental races that were better organised than this.

It’s amazing that there were not that many injuries because everyone had to adjust the speed.

Favourites are so far behind because of this too. And I know that there will be stages to catch up but it’s not a fair race this way.
