edited July 2010 in Pro race
In order for me not to make a decision about today's stage, I thought we'd have a vote. Basically, should I award the points for stage 2 of the TDF or not?

ATM, it seems like the Tour organisers have neutralised the points for everyone except Chavanel. He has 25, everyone else has 0. Behind, there was effectively no result. They have stage placings, but there was no race.

Poll runs for one day. Result is binding. So... up to you.

    Unlike the peloton, PTP is a democracy!

    Unless I decide otherwise.

    Anyone who chose Chav should get max credit - all others 0.

    That's noone then.

    Fine with me. I'm more worried about my Velogamens FTdF team!

    I voted for neutralising it. The riders coming in after Chavanel weren't racing so why should we be able to claim points (not that I would have broken my Tour duck if they were).

    I picked Thor so clearly have an interest, likewise most people who picked Freire are hardly going to say "dish out the points" but never mind, very democratic of you AFX, that's nice.

    Hi afx

    I agree with andyp.

    I voted for neutralise, as there has been an impact on the race.

    BTW I am a clueless rookie, so it won't affect me either way :wink:

    I'd award the points to anyone with Chavanel and neutralise the rest.

    I picked Freire, but I still voted for awarding the points. C'est la vie!

    I think people who picked a rider that finished in the group 3'56'' behind Chavanel should gain an advantage (5 points or so) over people who picked riders that finished outside the group eg Cavendish.

    If anyone picked Chavanel then they should receive the full 12 points.

    Get rid of radios and let the peleton race with those around them!

    Reckon we should go with whatever ASO decide (despite today's farce).

    As no-one had the winner neutralise it as the placings are irrelevant.

    This scenario is all Cancellara's fault. Withdraw all prologue points from people who picked him for that stage :D
