Giro d'Italia - Tappa 19
Pity there's now no Stelvio - was looking forward to that. Still, a good showdown on the cards between Majka and Betancur.

Radar tells me their closing speed, if they are slowing and how far away. Then I decide to say a prayer. The change of light pattern is incidental.

No, that's very doubtful while proper testing would be fully destructive.

And if for example his third place on stage 7 is annulled do all those below him move up and get extra points.
As he was picking up gc points early in the competition, in the points or mountains comp, I think it was, do those riders below him get those points too?
All Di Luca's points will need to be taken out now, this could change the game
Was zero points all round when a stage of the Tour of the Med was cancelled earlier in the year.
We'd just need to know what happens with transfers at some point, as it would also affect what we do tomorrow...
I'm assuming no points for the stage, and if you haven't yet made transfers you can now carry them over. But tomorrow has to look unlikely now too. What a shame as there would surely have been big attacks and lots of excitement.
Damn...Just made my transfers before seeing that it has been cancelled.....Would be a good idea if all transfers for the stage were reset as this would suit me...
And so say all of us
But I fear its not what will happen.
Not sure it's exactly the same but the precedent usually is if you transfer in a guy and he then abandons you do not get it back> It would seem unfair to give all those premium players all their transfers back that they can then use on the sprint stage at the end. Just saying
Don't worry Enrique, I'll still have 6 for that stage
So what do we do now?? I haven't done my st19 transfers yet and 1hr to go!!!
Di Luca positive. Oh dear! Plus ca change.
Oh dear....now news of Di Luca testing positive. Another day at the Giro!
He was riding so well too. Now we know why
I didn't make any of those and my question was directed at Dave of course. I did make transfers last night though even though I'd written I'd wait till the morning. But I think 4 for the last stage will be enough. Hopefully tomorrow's stage will be run otherwise the Giro is going to be a bit of a damp squib. Maybe it needs to be set forward a week to its old time slot to reduce the chances of this happening in the future.
Gesink pulled from race by medical team at Blanco
That's a call for Dave to make but I think it'll be run as zero points all round. However, if you made penalty transfers you'll likely still get minus points for those.
Begs the question do transfers get carried over if you haven't used them as well?
Will it be 0 scores all round or will we just get table points for the riders we've got?
yup cancelled....gutted!
Cancelled Oh dear!
Stg19. Cancelled..
Had a shot at top 10 in the purist comp. Not now
Plus made 3 transfers last night- Lost those now too for nothing
Can't the peleton invest in some mountain bikes, mittens and wooly hats
Made 2 changes. Brought back Niemiec and Betancur. Gutted about the shortened route.
I hope they can run the shortened route, it is looking grim for being able to make it over any climbs!
Yes fingers crossed....Weather in the area is apparently pretty grim this morning....Really feel for the organisers that so far all the 'top' stages have been affected...
Be some tired legs out there today, so another tricky stage to see past the GC guys...Tempted to drop Evans for an out and out mountain goat, but its hard with his guaranteed 'GC' and 'Points' points total...may just make the one change that most people will make...
