No I mean say the barriers start coming down in the middle of the pelaton or between the breakaway and the pelaton? Some might get an extra 2 minutes ahead or something!

Like I say, the riders are expected to obey the signals, and they get in trouble if they try to duck under a descending barrier or jump a light. |

That has happened in the past. I guess these days for the grand tours railway timetables are adjusted so as to prevent it.

Peter Sagan can also climb the hills whereas Marcel cannot and never will Marcel will never ever finish above Peter Sagan in a Grand Tour |

So is froome's wrist OK then? I couldn't tell from the interview. Why not let her speak French and use subtitles?

This was after the xrays. I'm sure the team think that, they wouldn't say otherwise. At least they were able to say they are not looking forward to tomorrow!

They've covered about 20-odd K so far........it's raining and windy
They've taken out 2 sections of pavé because of the conditions We've still got around 60K to go before the first sections.......and there'll now be around 13/14K of cobbles in the last 50-odd K of the race We're in Paris-Roubaix country so all the focus today is on guys who have a good record in the big classic........although they've pointed out that none of todays riders have experience of a wet Paris-Roubaix as there hasn't been one since 2002 |

I think if any go down on the first sector in this wet weather, they'll do a protest and stop or something.

This happened a couple of times in the Giro already this year, they just rode along at a normal speed until the last 3km. And as soon as they started to race, there were about 6 crashes straight away!
