+1Pentacycle said:Of course they can, but they should think about where to put them. This year's Tour would have been a lot different had there been boni sec's at intermediate sprints and tops of mountain passes. That would encourage attacking a lot more than just boni's at the finish imo.
lol, love the idea bonus secs should be a key driver behind falsifying results.auscyclefan94 said:No. It falsifies the race.
But everyone in a group getting the same time doesn't?auscyclefan94 said:No. It falsifies the race.
Simply because it is not based on the true time of the event therefore the person who completes the course in the fastest time is not necessarily the winner every time. That is how it falsifies the results.Dazed and Confused said:lol, love the idea bonus secs should be a key driver behind falsifying results.
Carry on.
Totally different. That is a matter of safety and logic because not everyone can be at the front and the time differences lost and made because of those sprints is negligible.Netserk said:But everyone in a group getting the same time doesn't?![]()
It still 'falsifies' the time of the ridersauscyclefan94 said:Totally different. That is a matter of safety and logic because not everyone can be at the front and the time differences lost and made because of those sprints is negligible.
Noble course, but I disagree. A try is worth more than a field goal etc.auscyclefan94 said:Simply because it is not based on the true time of the event therefore the person who completes the course in the fastest time is not necessarily the winner every time. That is how it falsifies the results.
On some finish climbs you can see several riders get ST when there were clear gaps between them.auscyclefan94 said:Totally different. That is a matter of safety and logic because not everyone can be at the front and the time differences lost and made because of those sprints is negligible.
I thought you said you "had been following Grand Tours for 30 years". There are no bonus seconds in TT's. UCI rule 2.6.021Joachim said:I'm going for yes, except in the TT.
