    Yeah i did see they didn’t
    Yeah i did see they didn’t start, which i think was wrong, the stage was basically void so they should have been let back in, Although its still a good race to win overall, i don’t think its that good because most of the top names have gone

    I’m pretty sure the stage
    I’m pretty sure the stage should not have gone ahead considering these pictures http://www.steephill.tv/volta-a-catalunya/ and that is why this

    “There was still some conjecture that riders who abandoned Wednesday would be allowed to take the start Thursday.

    “We’re in the dark as to whether they could start tomorrow.”

    http://velonews.competitor.com/2012/03/news/chaos-at-catalunya-nearly-40-abandon-but-officials-might-let-them-start-thursday_210078

    Originally scheduled to be held over 210.9 km (131.0 mi) from La Vall d’en Bas to Port Ainé,[22] the stage was shortened to 154.2 km (95.8 mi) due to snow on the hors-categorie climbs of the Port del Cantó and the finish at Port Ainé. As such, both climbs were removed from the itinerary, and the stage finish was moved to Canturri. It was later announced that the stage would not count towards the general classification following the decision to shorten the stage.

    Just thought i would add, if something like this happened in the game outwith this forum version, there would be NO points for todays stage 😉
