Are they only complaining about the extra 5 k's?
Eisel tweeted the stage has been shortened. They will jump on the bus and start the stage later.
Highly irresponsible. Do they not know that start/finish town revenue is important? Will the riders club together to repay Morbegno their outlay?While I think this stage design is stupid... Imagine being a professional bike rider and then complaining about having to ride your bike.

yeah, sure, Rai also reported that some teams wanted to race the full stage. The teams most vocal about the shortening were Lotto and Ag2R.What about the riders who had planned for a long break to succeed today?
There must be some.
