This is awful but I'm pretty sure they were riding surrons (electric motorbikes) not bicycles.

Disgusting display by Contador and Quintana. Any other sport there would be an enquiry into match fixing.
Is it right that if you miss the deadline for stage 1 then it costs you 8 transfers to pick a team for stage 2? Couldn't care less for this race but surely that needs fixing for future?!
EDIT - I think this is my bad, there just weren't many transfers in this race to start with. Ignore me!
Hey guys,
I joined the purist game for Abu Dhabi but forgot to create my team. Tried to add my team after stage 1, but it's empty. Is this right?
Cheers
Ben
Yeah, it's right.
I learned the hard way last year you can't join a Purist Competition after the race has started. 
Thanks Enrique. Do you mean join, or add a team?
I had already joined before the cutoff, but thought that in the past it would let me add my team after the comp had started. But when I click on add transfers, it's empty.
Cheers
Ben
I meant add a team
I had the exact same thing happen to me last year 
.... I had joined but didn't try to add the riders until after the 1st stage... and I couldn't... 
The race started at 8.30am UK time. Be aware the other 3 stages need to be brought forward an hour. (I think).
Could've sworn the deadline was 10am! Never mind...
