By this point in the race the organizers should anticipate this happening and have some flexibility. Today they could designate the flat section half-way up the final climb as the finish line and notify all the teams and riders when needed.
With drizzle any kind of jerky maneuver or suddenly hard braking or a skid is going to be disastrous
