heywoodu 13,540 Posted January 3, 2019 #33 Share Posted January 3, 2019 So wait...if in the pursuit for example you start 20 seconds behind the leader and finish 5 seconds behind the winner, you lose 5 seconds for the GC instead of win 15 seconds?

Also, the next pursuit will at least be clear: first across the finish wins the TdS, unlike this annoying stuff of having a pursuit in the middle of a stage race.

Wumo 2,795 Posted January 3, 2019 #35 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) There should not be bonus seconds in pursuits. The leader gets too much advantage compared to the rest, which makes the overall competition less interesting.

Wumo 2,795 Posted January 4, 2019 #37 Share Posted January 4, 2019 The Norwegian skiers continue to show how much of a fuck they care for the Tour De Ski. Number 4 in the overall standing, Sindre Bjoernestad Skar, has decided to quit, to instead focus on the WCH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite having quite a good number of good results already, he somehow always flies under my radar If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Monzanator 3,593 Posted January 5, 2019 #39 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Tour de Ski has lost it's mojo. It was a flashy new GF when it started but now the World Chams are like the exciting MILF you prefer while the teenage GF drives you nuts! First it was the thing about too many freestyle races and now the World Cup is skewed towards the sprint/short races while Tour de Ski remains an endurance thing. You can't try to send the endurance races into retirement 3/4 of the season and then promote TdS as the ultimate prize. It makes no sense. I've completely lost interest in this one.
