Jose Been reports rumours that the elite men's race could be cancelled, due to an anticipated storm. Am not watching TV coverage. Has anything been mentioned there?

If it gets really muddy in the U-23s then Hattie Harnden will likely be up there. Anna Kay, unfortunately, is unlikely to be in contention due to poor form

Nothing that I've heard. And how would they do that anyway? Just go "Oh, Mathieu, you're probably gonna win this anyway, so you just keep the jersey."? Postpone it for tomorrow (suppose that would be slightly easier than with road cycling, because they aren't actually blocking roads)?

Have to agree - on a heavy-ish course Harnden is a real diesel, who just keeps going. Kay has had a long season, and maybe over the top; also, a flat, heavy course won't suit her; she is quite lightweight, and would be more suited to a hillier, technical track.
 
On the Sporza website one hour ago:

"The organizers are taking a cancellation into consideration."

However nothing has been decided and they didn't mention anything on TV. At the moment there's only light rain, so hopefully the program will continue as planned.
