Abu Dhabi Tour?

Sorry, I was in the middle of doing them lastnight when a migraine hit, they are up now

Not clear why AbDab is showing as closed when Stage 4 hasn't been scored?

Will somebody be doing the Abu Dhabi scores soon?... Please?...

Hey, I thought the Abu Dhabi Tour was NOT supposed to count in the season rankings! I have been sitting this one out due to travel. Please fix.

I went all-in for stage 3 since I missed the first 2 stages and then accidentally wasted 3 transfers. Got 1,2,3,6,7,9,10.
Question: If this is a bonus comp, which I thought did not count toward the season comp, then why are my season rankings changing?

Yh Nibs was 9th. Kittel my one no scorer

1,3,4,7,9 + points from Guardini and Viviani

Cant complain too much, although wish Poels hadnt crashed

I presume it said 14 as technically as stage 1 had started you wouldnt have so called unlimited transfers, but the number given +8 to actually fill a team, so you couldnt put 8 in and then go back and change those 8 again for free due to the fact the race had started (and the code wont be set up to differentiate between a team that has entered there riders after the start deadline compared to those before, but just knows it hasnt entered any, but once it enters those riders it is effectively under the same state as every other team, and thus no unlimited transfers as you are beyond the stage 1 cut off).

Hope this explains it

Hello. This is the Chris part of Francoise and Chris (Franglaise Amiens et Cisgil23). The reason for the double act was that when she's in France I do the team thing for her (not so well this time, it seems !).
I wrote the comment before I realised I was on her page, and not mine.
The point I make is that surely you could have unlimited transfer up until the first team you enter, and then the transfers start.
I mentioned 14 because before I started our selections , I'm sure I saw 14 transfers available. Perhaps it's just my old grey cells giving up the ghost quicker than I thought.
Mind you, if that's the only moan I have, I think the Road CC office team are doing pretty well.
Chris (and Francoise if you prefer a bit of French Femininity !).

Bahhhhh Boonen out

It's always been 2 per stage, so 6 is fine. Sure we'd all want more, but that's part of the challenge.

You have 2 per stage and Stage 1 doesn't count. Because you get unlimited upto the deadline

The first I knew about this was an email yesterday afternoon, not seen until this morning. I missed the deadline for today's stage.
But to add insult to injury, when I just chose my first selections for the 2nd stage, the eight riders came off my 14 transfers, rather than as they were, the original choices. With flat, then stiff summit finish, then flat again, the 6 transfers remaining will not suffice.
I don't know if it's in the rules, but it seems a bit unfair to count as a transfer an original selection.
Can this be changed for next season ?
Francoise & Chris

Hey! Sagan scored! and so did Lobato!

.

2,7,11 and bugger all anywhere else. Saving all of my transfers for the mountain stage.

1,2,7 and nibs team bonus

Bit gutted as would have had palini rather kittel depending on his price but other than that. No shows from matthews, and the other 2 sprinters i had who i cant remember

A coupleof the Skydive riders didn't have values, that has now been sorted

Temp has been as high as 47c. Going to be some odd results imo.

I put Skydive in last night

10am competition finish? (11am real time) Dubai is four hours ahead so this would be 3pm there. The race website says the race starts at 1pm there (9am here). Should the deadline be pushed back to 8am?
