Normally they are fine and can handle the rain well. But this rain is like nothing I've seen. It's bone dry during the day with bright sunshine, then during the night we get sudden downpours of about 60mm in 30min or so. And Sunday I've never seen so much rain fall in such a short time. I spoke to my father last night (he's the route director) and he says the stages are ok, it's only the bridge on Montevideo that's washed away and my understanding of it is that it's right near the beginning of the stage and they could always start the stage from the spectator point about 2km down the road, although that would be a nightmare to organise with how popular that spectator point is.
