better luck next time. I blew the overall on the last day if it’s any consolation

Okay, I went on First Cycling

Okay, I went on First Cycling who have posted the sprint classification each day and I’ve worked out a result based on PCS live text and what I can see on Eurosport replays. Temporary provisional results for the two intermediate sprints are as follows. 1. De Bondt 2. Van Goethem 3. Tiller at first sprint. 1. Van Der Poel 2. Senechal 3. Koch at second sprint. This seems to make the most sense to me. I’ll await clarification if it ever comes, or until someone in the know has the information.

I’m going to have to upload

I’m going to have to upload these results without the sprint points. There’s just no way to look at yesterday’s standings and compare the results and they don’t post these results on their website. I’ll update when I know more. I’ve reached out on Twitter so we’ll see if we get a response.

Having real trouble finding

Having real trouble finding the super 8 sprint results for today. They don’t post them anywhere on their website. Every year this is an issue.

Damn you stevemarks! When I saw the results I was sure I’d win the stage 😉

Basically came down to Laporte vs Teunissen – I regret nothing!

I think it is the only sensible rule to be honest………. and I fell foul of the transfers this time around.

Agreed.  We’ve all been

Agreed.  We’ve all been caught out by late rider withdrawals (perhaps especially in Classics season), and we’ve all left it too late and missed the window.

 I probably see things slightly differently as I have not used transfers on the cancelled stages, but I feel that giving out extra transfers once the race has started sets a precedent that may create future problems. If this logic is applied, you could argue for removing transfers from the Autumn Classics because of the cancellation of Amstel Gold and I certainly don’t remember there being any call to restore transfers used on the cancelled stage of last year’s TdF. The game can never be perfect but is fine as it is. Now let’s get picking that Italian Riders team for the Giro.

sorry i’m late to this party.

sorry i’m late to this party. but cancelled stages are covered in the rules, and transfers are counted.

Part of the game has always been to do transfers as late as possible, in order to take into consideration late changes in riders/the situation/weather/etc. Whilst I have sympathy for those who transferred early, I think this is now the norm in the Covid world.

Same here. I’m sat with my original 8 transfers.

Have we decided what’s happening with transfers?…I’m sat with three TT picks who I could be swapping out. 33 mins to deadline.

My four changes used were pretty much the same.

Two sprinters out for Kung and KA, two sprinters back in for the same riders.

Was risky anyway but completely blows my chances now!

I used a lot of transfers

I used a lot of transfers moving in time triallists who would prosper in the hilly stages.  I was only going to bring in 2 sprinters for today so I’m screwed!  Goddamn virus!
