Without crunching the numbers, I don't think my position has changed in relation to Wig_Billy. Sammy winning and 2nd in GC is not that different points wise from Cunego 5th today, 8th GC and Matrin 8th today and 4th GC.

However, given the performance of Sammy, Cunego, Martin, Uran and Gavazzi, both of us should of increased our lead over the other teams.

So unless major accident or disaster strikes, the only risk to Wig_Billy losing is LuLu winning the stage tomorrow in a breakaway. Because Sammy, Cunego, Martin & a dozen other riders are not going to let each other out of their sight.

My chance of losing 2nd place is for a breakaway without LuLu taking the stage. And given LuLu performance so far, the second is far more likely.

Well it looks like Montana Carrot is running away with this after another high score on the stage
And he is also the only player without Valverde in his team....Interesting

The day saw a multitude of riders abandon. The bad weather cut the stage from 210.9km to 155, and eliminated the final two Hors Categorie climbs. It was expected that the stage would not be counted for the GC rankings.

I know i'm not playing this, but i thought there were no points or times handed out today, the way they finished on the road was just that and everything else about the stage was cancelled?

I'm pretty sure the stage should not have gone ahead considering these pictures http://www.steephill.tv/volta-a-catalunya/ and that is why this

"There was still some conjecture that riders who abandoned Wednesday would be allowed to take the start Thursday.

“We’re in the dark as to whether they could start tomorrow."

http://velonews.competitor.com/2012/03/news/chaos-at-catalunya-nearly-40...

Quote:

Originally scheduled to be held over 210.9 km (131.0 mi) from La Vall d'en Bas to Port Ainé,[22] the stage was shortened to 154.2 km (95.8 mi) due to snow on the hors-categorie climbs of the Port del Cantó and the finish at Port Ainé. As such, both climbs were removed from the itinerary, and the stage finish was moved to Canturri. It was later announced that the stage would not count towards the general classification following the decision to shorten the stage.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Volta_a_Catalunya#Stage_3

Just thought i would add, if something like this happened in the game outwith this forum version, there would be NO points for todays stage  3

I don't care what you do with points, even though all I would get was like 2 or 3 points for 18th. Whatever's fair.
