Sporza's bail-out reel from last year's KBK. Outside the top names, who always get attention when they climb into the team car, riders are generally allowed to duck out of one-day races in peace.

Not so in 2010, where an unprecedented storm saw riders retiring in droves as the wind, rain, and cold took their toll. Highlights include Iljo Keisse struggling to speak through his shivers, and Daniele Bennati looking irritated as a train of over-capacity broomwagons bypass him at the side of the road.

Bennati does close things down, but not all that much. If I didn't know better, I'd say Haussler's becoming a bit of a diva.
