Also, Albasini gets 2 free minutes on the first stage, with the GC riders assuming they'll pull back that time on the queen stage. If the time difference from the front group today gets annulled, so should Albasini's.
Messy isnt it. You could say that they shouldnt have allowed the chance for Albasini to get ahead and then this to happen given that they are going this high in March. Then again, anyone looking at today's conditions could have guessed that the race wouldnt finish at its planned destination so should have tried to account for that so Albasini/GE should have accounted for it and tried to keep the gap down. What a farce, the chance of snow at 1900 metres in March is high enough for the organisers to have devised a back-up plan, surely?
