Why is it allowed to continue a race during thunderstorms?

They were thinking about neutralizing the descent but they didn't I think. Could be a big mistake.

Brutal rain. The descent is gonna be dangerous. Smart move by Woods to get an advantage before the downhill section. Porte should have joined them too.

I'm not thinking about the rain but the lightning. That seems awfully dangerous.

Remember the ultra-rainy Suisse stage when Pozzovivo (!) dropped Woods downhill and won?

I think this is a very smart move by Woods. Otherwise, he would have been dropped on the descent.

Dumoulin looks brilliant for pulling out rather than riding in this weather with a sore knee.
