Does anyone know why Gallileo Risk is not in the Ladies Red jersey? Dorma-Kaba is wearing the jerseys but they finished behind them yesterday...

 

Penalised 30min for "drafting" (although very short if any) behind another ladies team. A new rule that has come out from what I heard on the morning in the managers meeting. They have no manager. 

 

Although, some news coming out is that another team pimped them to the Comms.

 

either way they have the penalty.

What we saw on TV they drafted for quite some time on the tar..coverage cut away and they were still drafting, to give you an idea of how long it was, if it was a road race it would've had been a DQ in a TT

They took a Risk to draft on Table Mountain Road and got slammed with a penalty.  (30min according to Supersport HL last night)

 

Does this mean my 'Epic fantasy league' results will be updated accordingly?  :whistling:  :D

Gaze fell twice in the space of a few kilos and also had to stop to adjust his cleats.

I think its only Prologue you not allowed to draft. 

 

Yes, Prologue is a Time Trial. No drafting allowed whatsoever. That is the whole point of the timed starts for each team. One would think a competent cyclist would know this basic fact.
