Well, what do I know?… 😕 But I honestly think people care more about the consistency of the game and having a classification awarded, and getting more points on their Standard teams, than your statement about the Purist teams, which may be undeniable, but I honestly think people are more peeved about such a dramatic change in the game in not having the classification honored rather than annoyed their Purist teams were formed with the “Sprint’ jersey rather that “Points’ jersey in mind… But what do I know? I may be wrong, but I think people would have responded more kindly to having the ‘Points’ points be awarded than the classification being ignored altogether… And I still can’t shake the feeling that more than your explanation about the Purist team consideration it was more Gkam wanting it ‘his’ way… I may be wrong, of course… He just seems rather stubborn at times… Not to say I’m not (!) 🙂TERatcliffe26 wrote:… had it not been for the fact that the purist window had already been closed…TERatcliffe26

I’ve heard all the arguments about it only rewarding the finish line etc because there’s no intermediate sprints but we score eg the TdF points jersey and Giro points jersey and, realistically, the points available at the intermediates in those, compared to the finish line points, make fuck all difference to the overall jersey, so we’re effectively rewarding the finish line points there too.I don’t intend to complain here, I’m just puzzled as to why.
I do not know the answer as to why, had there been a sprints jersey that would have been scored is all I can say. In a race like this, this week, I don’t think not scoring has made much difference, however had the last two stages come as say 3 and 4, then it would have made a difference, as you may have kept modolo for them had he being getting 4 points and relatively cheap, which is why went Thurau after stage 1
Also TDF is diff, as the IM sprint has 15 points for the winner, and as that goes to the overall jersey, the the IM’s are highly contested when only a couple of riders are in the break
