You mean the one with BMC ahead of Sky?Cyivel said:What about the Consolidated Team Depth Rankings?
Yes. A 20 man group enters the final 2 k. Whomever they give a bit of freedom to wins the GC. Not that exciting.maltiv said:Decent stage today, but any stage race that's decided by only a single GC relevant stage is a failure in my eyes. Imo the race was actually better last year, when there were 3 GC relevant stages (although only 1 of them provided significant gaps).

I think those are the one's he's talking about. Just because you don't like the numbers doesn't mean you get to discredit the numbers, even if you think ranking based on team classification is a bad idea. (feel free to use the latter argument, but not the former)Netserk said:You mean the one with BMC ahead of Sky?

search said:the stage itself wasn't too bad, with one single stage deciding over the overall the race itself was way worse than last year though where we had attacks more or less every day

First year pros on Sky don't shine at all, when they get the chance to do so they're too tired from riding on the front for their leaders in WT races.Ferminal said:Why is it always the team's fault?
