Which is why they have the 5 km rule now.
They therefore don't need 3 seconds as well as if the crash is inside 5 km they all get the same time as the fastest of the group they were in.

er but if they didn't have 3 second rule, the GC boys would still be at the front as they wouldn't want to get behind a 1 second gap. ergo you need both 5km & 3 secs rule to achieve the objective.

Campenaerts just wasting energy. Pedersen will sit up after the IS leaving him all alone.

Exactly,.which is also why I didn't agree with Jonas whinging in the GIRO Milan crit as the new regs where fine to manage the situation for GC guys moreover they saw the circuit 3 times FFS
