Cavendish abandoned the tour.

 

Sagan is now 177 points ahead of the second (Kittel) in the green jersey battle with one sprint stage 3 mountains and 1 time trial remaining :lol:

As you know I'm a big fan of Sagan like almost everyone else, but I really hope this points system gets changed in some way. Not "to fight against Sagan", but because certain things are just weird. If a stage is a mountaineous stage, you get much less points for winning the stage (logical), but it's unbelievably strange that the number of points for the intermediate sprints stay the same...

 

For example in a flat stage you get 50 points for winning the stage and 20 for winning the intermediate sprint.

In a mountain stage you get 20 points for winning the stage...but still 20 for winning the intermediate sprint..that makes no sense and I hope that gets changed as soon as possible. 

 

If they want to make differences between the stages in terms of points, that's great I think, but then they should just cancel the intermediate sprints in mountain stages :)

i understand your view, but you know that its mainly the intermediate sprints in the mountains stages which are the Sagan strongest card and which make the difference :d

 

but yes, well, you know that they changed the rules because Sagan won easily the green two years in arow, so suddenly they made 50-30-20 points system in sprint arrival, just to make the competition harder and as they say more interesting, (which is very unfair, if you finish third you are already 30 points behind, so it´s why there need also the intermediate sprints in the "lumpy" stages :d to give all kind of racers more or less the same chances.

but sure, I would more like if they returned back to the previous system. but no chance for that,:( now I´m really wonder what they will invent for the next seasons, maybe 100 points for the flat stages winner and 50 for the second ;)

Personally I would go for 0 points in mountain stages (there are mountain points for that), a few points in hilly stages and for flat stages something like 25-20-18-etc (a bit like in MotoGP or Formula 1). And no intermediate sprints, they're useless :p

    • Obviously impossible to know in advance but in 2022 all ten skaters Canada qualfiied skated individually, and 9/10 competed in a relay as well.
    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.
