ToQ Stage 3


TERatcliffe26, February 5, 2013

So the peleton is all together with 20km to go

All I can tell you regards sprints is that the peleton was together for the first sprint and that Chan Jae Jang was 2nd in the 2nd sprint

According to Jackson Stewart ‏@Sevenpelicans

1st bonus sprint was Blythe, cavendish, don't know third.
2nd Bonus Haymen, Gruzdev, Jang. #TourofQatar

Gone for Guardini rather than Degenkolb Thinking hope i don't regret it! Worried

Gotta be a Cav win really, he must be like a rabid dog chomping at the bit for a good sprint win! Wink

Dunno about the accuuracy. Jang may have been 2nd - I didn't see it. I've gone for Hutarovich as well. Fingers crossed.

Unless Bookwalter starts picking bonus seconds there's a real chance Cavendish could still win this race.

Yeah, that doesn't make sense. Hayman must've won a sprint because he's 3 seconds higher in the GC.

But if that's corrected I'll lose my Stage Podium badge. Crying

Hayman also has points.....I will investigative a little later and report back

Missing CJ Jang points: Live coverage reported on two sprint points. Letour even shows that Jang has collected 2 sprint points, but none have been posted to Fantasy Cycling.

The official site does NOT show sprint point two.

But I am going to update the scores shortly.

If you had looked before posting you will see I said earlier that I would look into it.

The fact that I can only find sprint point two results here is bad.

What I'm saying is that Letour shows that Jang has collected 2 points at some juncture during the race because his cumulative total is 2, per Letour.

Yeah he has scored two points, but it does not show where and when he got them anywhere....the same goes for a couple of riders. I cannot just make up results without them being on the official locations though.

This time I am making an exception
