    What a farce. Good for Alaphilippe though - he could have lost a lot more in the valley and on the final climb

    To be honest whatever time Alaphilippe made up on the descent he would have lost double on final climb.

    Wow, never seen this happen, if the stage is abandoned then surely you cancel all times from stage... Not from a HC summit where nobody appeared to be aware of the snow/hail/ice as Bernal approached the summit.

    they choose those points because the race timing system is at the KOMs and the sprints

    Should have made them dismount walk through the snow then restart, bloody youth of today

    He'd have taken a further 30sec into Tignes, I reckon.
