Re:
I'm shocked that the UCI would do something like that...wait, no I'm not! That sucks for RU!gospina said:This was from an article today regarding the 1st stage:
"his concentration was rattled when the UCI commissaires decided that his TT handlebar position didn’t conform to the setup regulations five minutes before his start time.
According to Uran and Vaughters, a different commissiare had green-lighted it two hours beforehand. The team was left with insufficient time to change the position of the bars, and so he had to quickly change to a spare bike. That affected his TT and he lost 49 seconds to the stage winner Geraint Thomas."
