    By the way I just checked the weather and it seems that the rain shall be mostly over and even the sun may appear from time to time. It will be drying which might bring some advantage to the later runners. We'll see.
    Yes by now some placed are probably starting to dry.

    And it's not only about ralying it's general ignorance and lack of respect. I do a lot of hiking and I meet people absolutely inadequately clothed in the mountains having completely wrong shoes etc. Then other people need to risk to get them down when the weather gets bad or they twist their ankle.
    There is a stereotype in Croatia of Czech tourists getting lost on the mountain in their flip-flops

    The stage is drier but the average speed is approximately 2 km/h lower than in the first run due to the mud.

    but then again, relying on the common sense of the spectators also doesn't really work since a lot of them are also idiots.
