    Hello, thought I’d ask this before the Vuelta to avoid the kerfuffle we had during the tour.

    What prizes are there for the Vuelta?

    Is there a Purist prize?

    If so what is it?

    And finally, who wins the purist prize, whichever purist is first or the leading premium purist?

    If you’ve got any more questions for the road.cc guys tack them on the end and hopefully we’ll get answers before the Vuelta kicks off.

    Gkam is right, read the thread, that practice has been officially approved.

    Also, thanks for the clarification Dave, hoping to have a right good go at the purist comp for this one.

    There was a big arguement over this a couple of weeks ago.

    You can use whoever you see fit, whether riding or not 😉

    not much point shutting the door at 5am on saturday when the stage doesn’t kick off until 6pm…

    stage deadlines have been set in accordance with the stage start times at http://www.lavuelta.com/12pr/en/recorrido/index.html

    some are earlier than others, there’s no super early ones like there was in the tour though. mostly 11am to 1pm UK time.

    main prizes are listed on the website and also in the email you probably got this morning. stage prizes still TBC. yes there’ll be a purist prize (TBC), which anyone can win.

    Agree over the deadline for transfers though. Make it 5am as suggested so no one gets caught out.

    Agreed, but it’s also wrong to change deadlines at short notice. Fixed deadlines should be fixed, they ideally should be fixed for a time before the racing starts but if by some chance they are not then they should not be changed at no notice.

    On stage times, I would say that if a stage closing time is quoted on the stage details, or if one is confirmed in advance, then road.cc shouldn’t change it, even if it’s after the stage start time.

    Sometimes stages start early and it’s not ideal to have racing ongoing before the transfer window closes but that’s better than jerking people around and stopping them from getting their transfers in if they think they’ve got plenty of time before the publicised deadline.

    Only other thing I’d want
    Only other thing I’d want road.cc to keep an eye on is the start times of the stages – to make sure that the transfer deadline countdown clock is always correct. Been caught out a couple of times with it saying for example 4 hours to deadline and then 2 hours later the window has closed as the stage started early.

    Apart from that, and clarification on young riders as per other thread, all is GREAT. 😀
