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

    • @hckošice Do you agree with me to some extent, or am I hopelessly dreaming? 
    • Interesting forecasts, I like 'em! I think the US wins the most medals, but Norway tops the standings (most golds)... have Germany neck-and-neck with Norway for medals, but fewer gold.    Then have Canada and Italy fighting it out for 4th in 5th   Then have Sweden, Austrian, Japan, Netherlands and France rounding out the top ten, with them all within a medal or two of each other. Of course reality with differ significantly 
    • A huge day for the very young Italian Bertini: despite a very tough draw, he beats Szilagy in the round of 16 and Gu in the quarterfinals! First career podium for him! 
    • Time for more personal and detailed predictions:    will have it hard this time.   I'm trying to stay realistic about our chances. We're not going there as favorites in most events, and deep down I know it would be a big surprise if we suddenly overperformed or even dominated. Still, sports have a beautiful way of ignoring expectations.   We're never predicted to do amazingly well at either edition of the Olympics, so I’m desperately hoping for moments that will stay with everyone in the country for years, whether it's a final that keeps people glued to their screens or a performance that will make us proud. Just one medal could mean so much. It would bring real emotions and something to cheer for to a country that isn’t going through its best period right now. And on the rare occasion of a hockey miracle, celebrations in the streets wouldn't be an oddity.   It all comes down to four sports, the rest are out of reach:   Alpine Skiing is a big mystery, and it will all come down to Petra, whether she'll compete and eventually shock everyone with a heroic result. That's the best-case scenario. Biathlon can be the dark horse, you never know how things turn around. The women's relay is probably our biggest chance, but all four of them need to deliver great performances. As for Ice Hockey, our national sport, I'll always believe in another fairytale. I'll always believe we'll pull off a miracle. Since I wasn't alive yet when we won gold at the World Championships, I can only resort to watching old videos and imagine how amazing it must have been to watch as your country is the champion of the world in something. Best on the planet. Even the silver years later was amazing, but I was too young to actually remember it, so it's time for another hockey euphoria in the country. Ski Mountaineering is a bit overlooked in the media right now, but I believe we have a huge chance of winning a medal in one of the events. Our athletes aren't minnows.   We're a small country, still relatively young. There's not much we're known for in the world, but sports are a perfect way to build a national identity, to stop people from thinking you're still part of a state that ceased to exist decades ago. Doing well in sports is one of the few things these lesser-known countries can show off, not just the ones in Europe.   I'm desperately hoping for a medal, and we all want those two weeks of the Olympics to be amazing and full of unforgettable moments.
    • Never wanted a prediction to be more right 
    • Two weeks before the Games officially begin, time to give my final predictions on the medal standings.     will beat  and win the medal table at the WOG for the first time in 100 years. All the (absurd) retirements of elite Norge athletes last season will have its consequences and they will drop to second.    will my bold pick to return to the top 3 after their horrendous Beijing performance, when it comes to Gold medals.     Germany will slip down and will have less than 9 golds for the first time in 50 years. Depending on how the chips fall in some sports, they could even be outside the top 5.   Home team of  will have their best Olympics in some, better than Torino, but it still won't be enough to get into the top 5.
