    No need to apologise, and sorry if I came across a little harsh.

    I think the intention is that deadlines will be earlier going forwards and that players will have to try and get used to it. For my races at least I think I’ll try and keep one deadline time for all stages for consistency unless one stage (a TTT or ITT for example) start particularly late or a long mountain day starts particularly early.

    There’s a balance to be found between precaution (trying to avoid any chance of a race starting before the transfer window closes) and giving players as much time as possible to pick their team. Over time we’ll find that balance but I think we were pushing to keep deadlines as close to start times as possible and got bitten in the arse over Gent-Wevelgem so needed to change something.

    That’s been happening a while, not entirely sure why, think I raised it a while back but I doubt it’ll be an easy fix.

    Deadlines were moved further
    Deadlines were moved further from stage start times to try and avoid any potential overlap and another incident similar to what happened during Gent-Wevelgem.

    I know it’s shit but sadly it’s a step that needed to be put into place to try and avoid any possibility of it happening again.

    The deadline for every stage this week is 10am GMT so at least they are consistent and those above are right, you can submit a team and change it right up to the deadline.

    Why do these fucking deadlines have to be so early though? ~X(

    It’s so you can’t pick riders in a break after the start! :O

    The stage has been open to pick teams for a while now, no need to leave it till the last minute 🙂

    Despite saying I would put effort into this comp I realised at 9am this morning I hadn’t picked either team and hadn’t done any prep (the weekend got away form me a little bit).

    Anyway, two teams thrown together with no real thought put into them, let’s see how this goes.
