Pretty sure it doesn't make it an asterisked win simply because another favourite was sick. Damn bad lack for the sick guy, yes, but nothing that means the guy who ended up winning didn't actually earn it.
I can confirm this. They only do it when it happens between April 21st and May 16th though.jens_attacks said:RedheadDane said:SeriousSam said:Now that Cancellara has been struck by illness, Dumoulin will probably win, but it will be an asterisked victory

It's ok, "VDB" was a pretty stupid nickname even back in the 90s if you ask me.jens_attacks said:hrotha said:What's all this crazy talk about Tommy D?
