They shortened today's race because of flooding, and then they circumvented the flooded part. Then the remaining part of the course was not flooded and thus passable.
I can't believe this needs to be explained.
Would you have preferred there to not be any WCRR just because Valverde could not win?
I would have preferred a race that didn't have these horrible conditions. I didn't expect Valverde to win on this course, but I had expected a good race, which was NOT close to anything that we actually got. What we got was a total waste of time.
