It's not just about riding in a little cold rain and mud. Flash floods in the desert are no joke. I can understand why they delayed the race. It’s not just about riding in a little cold rain and mud.

You are lucky that some train didn't come through and a gendarme in a funny hat didn't stop you, by the railroad crossing, with the arms down. Can you imagine if Tom Boonen were told, "Listem Tom buddy, you were 1:12 up on that three man chase group, but your little breakaway now has to start 1:12 down!?!?!? How do Belgians (especially the Flemish) use their middle fingers? Oh yeah, that's a universal sign, as FC has already shown us.... Kenny, thanks for the nice article!

It cannot be understood. I've read 3 different explanations of how the re-start went (or didn't go at all for the solo racers, who collectively decided not to re-start. What's up with that?) and due to the limitations of human comunication, it is impossible for the organizers to explain the restart. Therefore, the fact that Kenny's explanation of the re-start doesn't make sense has nothing to do with Kenny.
