Are you seriously suggesting that motorists apply even a modacum of logic or balance to their hatred for cyclists.

Wait - have those wafers been upgraded to chocolate wafers now (or maybe those pink ones?) Or is it all the sugar in the communion wine?

Do we assume it is standard scoring for KOM and intermediate sprints or will there be modified scoring for these, like we had in the TDF?
GC is still up for grabs aswell to the stage winner
I think everything will still be scored, because although it is "neutralised" they are still racing, it is just everyone will get the winners time
According to this article, http://cyclingquotes.com/news/vuelta_ttt_neutralized_due_to_safety_conce..., times will only count for the Teams classification, "The recorded times will be counted for the team classification and not for the individual general classification.”, so I don't think GC points should be awarded for individual riders for Stage 1, just the team points...
How will the scoring work for stage one now that it's been neutralised??? Anyone?? Dave??
Yep, this ^
Cheers
One assumes that stage points will be awarded (as the stage is there to be won) but GC/jersey points will not?
Well I have no idea who to pick for stage 1. My current line-up is a ragtag and bobtail unit of speculation and presumption.
Perhaps the most difficult one I've ever picked trying to minimise transfers for stage 2, which could go any direction, and of course the sand/short distance in stage 1 which will probably make a mockery of the favourites.
Wow. Not a lot to choose from in the Spaniards Only.
I still miss the crazy Euskaltel crew.
Me too man.. Especially those hideous helmets..
Don't underestimate Caja Rural
I feel like starting with the big guns given that we are a TTT then mountains
Tejay
Velits (BMC)
Velits (EQS)

it'll be open today
Last minute change for AG2R. Fat n Slow has been replaced by couldn't Care less Betancur
Only AG2R, Etixx, Garmindale and Saxo yet to confirm. Saxo have Majka and Sagan, AG2R have Pozzovivo and 'Fat n Slow, Garmindale will have Dan Martin being unlucky and no-one else and Etixx don't care. This should be enough to get the game up and running
Yeah dude, calm down. The start list hasn't been finalised yet. Give it a day or two.
