The Giro D'Italia Time Game!

[keithmcmahon]

defo. seems unnecessarily cruel to be out of a 3-week game due to a crash - especially true during week 1 of the tdf

I think you might have trouble on some teams finding 2-young riders.

I think you might have trouble on some teams finding 2-young riders.

I know, but if I don't put any constraints we'll have just a bunch of players picking the higher rider in the GC. That would just even forces.

PS: Please remember to give your opinion about the proposed new rule.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

I like how this is going so far , and I don't have a problem with that rule.

 

[keithmcmahon]

The next two days being sprinters stages means I go backwards :-(

 

[Netserk]

The next two days being sprinters stages means I go backwards :-(

I wouldn't call tomorrow a sprinter stage

 

[Hartog]

The rest day rule seems fine to me.

Though on the other hand I don't see how an abandon causes that much damage, as there's only a single malus of 2' and nothing after that.

In fact, I think having Casar would play out better than Cataldo, because he's soldiering on but losing a lot of time each stage. It's why I thought Tiralongo would put me out of contention, but he appears to have improved after hitting the tarmac in stage 3.

You have a point there...
We could modify it in such a way that everyone can substitute, say, 2 riders whether they abandoned or not. (with riders of the same team, that doesn't change)

Damn, when I read during rest day, I thought it meant before start of next stage
Well, I am doomed anyway but if Eshnar thinks it ok, I would like to replace the abandonned Casar with Roux (if that rule change was implemented), and install Capecchi as my new climber.
