I'm super-annoyed.
Ridiculous decision too. They'll get more publicity out of Cav winning one stage than Jakobson winning the green jersey.

Jakobson won't win the green jersey.Im not sure how many sprint stages there are....4/5 ? But I'm guessing he thinks there's no room for two sprinters and Jakobson is the fastest.
Do I think Cav could win a stage....yea without doubt.But it's Lefverve,maybe he likes Merckx or owes him one 🙄

...but at 11/4, not worth much of a punt?!
..only in ingerrland! (and manxland, obvs)
Indeed. But so could Jakobsen. Agreed that if you can only take 1 sprinter, it has to be the dutch guy.

I have no concerns about Jakobsen, I like and respect him enormously. Just think it's a shame.

Nice. Lets hope he has recovered from the plague.

Or to put it another way......let's hope Pog and Rog have some bad days 😁

Adam, sorry to burden you with this question but you do seem the most knowledgeable / interested / well read on the subject but if a team gets relegated at the end of this year does the points thingy carry on the following years giving said teams a chance of getting promotion back to the top.
Secondly how would it work with the relegated teams amassing points as obviously "second division" teams are not invited to all races.
And thirdly what if a team who are not on the list (Caja Rural / Eolo Kometa / Uno X) amassed more points than those on the list, where do they stand?
You will notice I didn't use the team of a thousand sponsors as an example as I couldn't spell it 😟

@Chislenko sure someone posted this before maybe but there's a decent article on the points system here....

I think Vingegaard has as much of a chance ( if not more) than Rog.
Looking at it coldly it's hard to see past a 1,2,3 of Pog Rog and Vin...but many things can happen in a long GT.
I'm not going to bother with an each way bet so the bookies can sleep easy!

There's me thinking you would have had a little flutter on Mas....just for my amusement 😁
I thought I already had but it's not on my account so I'm not sure what happened!Did I punt on him in the Dauphine instead? fark knows...I'm a bit pissed...
