Minor races 2022 *Spoilers*

Read that the points are actually worked out on the teams top ten scoring riders at the end of the season so surely any table at the moment is just predictive. Whole thing strikes me as being a total shambles and their is apparently legal action being prepared by teams against the UCI.

Three year ranking only counts the points of the top ten in each team.
Ninth place in Quebec earned as many points as a stage win at the Vuelta !
Can't say I take that much interest to be honest but I'd say the ones who are most p1ssed off will be the ones facing relegation...they knew about the points system from the start.

Mark Stewart, I think I remember reading, got stuck in NZ for the pandemic and is racing for a Kiwi team.
He's leading the T of Romania with a flat stage to go

Excited 😍
No Mvdp or Bernal I'd have thought maybe Vingegaard might start as he's finally got out of bed after the tour.

Yes, he's a lazy bugger.
He's doing the Cro Race today - first outing since the Tour.
Ineos are there too but no Bike Exchange or Lotto who you would think they'd need the points.

Reading the latest points report yesterday it stated that Lotto's chances of avoiding relegation were pretty much slim to non existent.

Froome will be racing sportives in South Africa....and promoting his latest watch/phone/gel to make you a tour winner.
