    Right it seems ive made a massive oversight with regards to this stage, so im gonna to apologise now…

    It seems the parcours is not actually as flat as I thought, and it shouldn’t be/isn’t a flat stage. When I read the stage profile I saw climbs of 2.9km at 6.1% and 6.3km at 2.9% so thought it was pretty flat. However I failed to notice that on each of these climbs they actually ramp up to 27% that I failed to notice

    So all I can do right now is apologise for that

    Maybe, but you could still
    Maybe, but you could still get podium, full house and maybe a lanterne rouge badge.

    180 might be out of reach (I got 246 on PN final TT, less 70 for your transers gives 176) but there’s still plenty to play for.

    Big time, but do the 70 penalty points come off my stage score or my overall?

    Everybody go and pester
    Everybody go and pester @micacquarone on twitter to hassle the race jury into allowing TP back in the race. Read @SSbike comments on the time limit and see if you agree.

    The best riders can still go
    The best riders can still go after each other after a breakaway has already won, then you have the unpredictability and interest of who will be in a breakaway and whether it will stay away or not as well as the best riders, who are a very select group and we all know who they are, battling it out, (hopefully without the benefit of doping!!), which of course I want to see as well. All the time bonuses do, I think, is reduce the chance of people really bothering in breakaways, especially in a short race with few opportunities for bonuses to be won.

    But with Sagan targeting a win a breakaway was never really going to work today. Got that right, unfortunately I didn’t think Froome was going to do so badly, although I had a funny feeling after getting rid of Contador instead of Froome, which is usually a sign that I know I’ve made a mistake.

    Rats. Being across the pond
    Rats. Being across the pond with the severe time lag (and numerous other life events going on lately) I’ve been taking the road.cc course profile as gospel. Had to make some sacrifices to get Greipel and Cav both in there… really wishing I had time to do proper research now. 🙁

    It makes it more interesting
    It makes it more interesting from a breakaway point of view but surely it’s more exciting to see the best riders going hell for leather to the finish in an effort to go after the time bonuses? If it wasn’t for the bonuses then Contador/Rodriguez might not have attacked Froome so hard yesterday, I’d say that made the racing better as we’re seeing the best riders putting 100% in all the time.
