penalties to the front two
What's with penalties here, unless the road was banned before they took it? I thought skinny reported it to be awful, then decision made?
Confused.

Apparantly skinny suggested the penalty himself. This is from Juliana on FB:
Actually James Hayden who called us to let us know how dangerous the road was as he was riding it, is himself accepting (and in fact suggested) the small time penalty to reflect the massive detour and extra climbing other riders will have to do to avoid this road.

Geoffroy (93) appears to have started on the banned road. I wonder if he hasn't had chance to read about the banned road and is just pressing on with his route or has decided to take the time penalty.
It looks like Ian (16) has stopped, assuming for re-routing so will probably see him avoid the E81 road.
With the penalties to the front two and Geoffroy (weather aware of it or not) and Ian having to re-route it looks like Jonas (60) is safely on the podium.
