    I was just checking this year’s route and noticed that some stage profiles on PCS are different than those on the Official Site. It looks like PCS have used profiles used in earlier races.

    Looks like stage 2 & 7 are different. The start & finish towns are the same as in previous years but the route between is different.

    Apparently there is still an active protest (unresolved) re the TJ incident. My intension is to rescore all affected stages if classifications change.

    The protest (but not the rescoring) may affect your team selection for stage 6.

    I know of two teams that have protested, Atana & Quickstep.

    If anything happens I suspect it will be after the race has finished.

    That way, the organisers can have their All American Hero for the remainder of the race and then the UCI can impose the correct application of regulations once the immediate fuss is over.

    PS. I hope this is the solution as I have already made my transfers for tomorrow.

    I have no idea why Sagan went in the break, he could have won that stage.

    Same with Philipsen.

    Maybe they thought the race needed livening up a bit.

    Windy day on the coast in California, 30mph winds from the west.

    If there is any justice there will be echelons and TJ will get dropped.

    It might actually be worth watching today.

    Apparently it isn’t  the first time they have changed the rules to favour an American.

    Levi Leipheimer crashed with 10km to go in 2007 but was given the same time as the winner and kept the leader’s jersey and went onto win the race.

    Farce in California –

    Farce in California –

    UCI statement  “The mass crash near the finish of stage 4 was just outside 3km to go. The commissaires have decided to treat the crash such that all riders affected by the incident and the road blockage will receive field time.”

    This race is rather boring.

    I gave up watching yesterday as the peloton did absolutely nothing to try and win the stage, not one team attacked all day.

    I did manage to stay up and watch the end of today’s tedious stage which turned out to be quite exciting.

    TJ managed to crash, then nearly catch up before completely screwing up a corner and going straight on. He finished about 50 s down and lost the lead to Asgreen.

    However, there was  a crash in the leading group during the  finishing stages and the organisers decided to give all riders the same time and TJ was re-instated as leader

    But the crash was outside the final 3km and TJ  wasn’t even in the bunch at the time of the crash.

    I guess Trump was watching & got someone to call the judges.

    Hi Andy,

    I have emailed to game@road.cc times twice and get a reply from Trello.com which says –

    “The list you attempted to send a card to, Game issues via email (to do), is currently archived and you will therefore not see your card on the board………”

    Is that correct?

    Hmmm, so that’s how that works. I’ll tag him and see if he can check out your issue. We use Trello to track the game and discuss things. Wasn’t aware that’s where the game emails went and it looks like Dave’s moved that particular card. I’ll bring it up with him.
