2025 Races with Spoilers.

Meanwhile in Tirreno, Ganna suffers a mechanical inside the final km.
Some confusion as to whether he gets the ST or loses the leader’s jersey.

Seems he get the same time and keeps the jersey

 

[roadrash]

I always thought if it happens in the last 3km then same time

Depends on the finish type, and this year some cut-offs have been extended to 5km

 

[roadrash]

if he loses the jersey then thats worse than what they did at volta algarve, yeah we know you did everything correct and was the first over the line but sorry , you didnt win

And, let's be honest, whoever happens to be on the jury and how good today's lunch was. 5km seems really silly though - why not just neutralise the stage?

I think 5km extension is based on the growth in road furniture in recent years, we were seeing a lot of position battles with GC riders still involved in the outskirts of towns where it was already bloody dangerous. But this season it seems like the parcours of many races should generally be taken as a suggestion rather than a mandatory route anyway....

It's OK, He didn't lose the jersey. He got same time as his group.
