Or maybe how many have to be left to feel like you won ?

Isnt Kelderman off to Bora next year? Hope he doesn't end up playing second fiddle to Sagan.
At least they'll shut up about Sagan's lack of a win now, as you say.
And Kelderman is a decent time trialler too. Saturday could be crucial.

Yes he's of to Bora,hopefully with some opportunities for GC.Sagans win today was class...but that's it how many other stages does he have a chance at ? Unless he's totally dominating as before it's a hard choice for the rest of his team.
Kelderman did a good TT at Tirenno I think was he 4/5 in the end ? But fingers crossed no virus or dare I say cancellation hes looking good for a win.
Can't see the Vuelta happening can you ?

Now today's stage is over, back to da roolz.
My reading is that he race would have to be temporarily stopped for results to stand. If CV19 causes the race to be stopped entirely this is a permanent situation.
In the Giro rulebook, Article 24 states the GC would be based on 21 stages: 'Positions in the general classification are established by adding together the times recorded by each rider in the 21 stages.'
If there are not 21 stages then there can be no GC.
Given the possible (sadly, probable) situation the race was to be stopped entirely, everyone would understand the change of circumstance and rules could presumably be amended. If this were to happen I would expect there would be necessary agreement between all parties. i.e. UCI, RCS and teams.

My reading is that it's temporarily neutralised or it's stopped. The temporarily does not apply to stopped there. What is temporarily stopped if it's not temporarily neutralised?
I;m very pleased for you.Got him in my fantasy team so I expect good things of him

No, Ramon Sinkeldam of Group Armour FDG abandoned during the race. I think it was well before the last 30km and Hatch said it was his explosion without making a dent that convinced Demare's train to give up chasing the lead group.

He's probably worried about Sagan taking the purple points jersey back. Yesterday moved Sagan to 20 points behind. I think the difference between a first and a second at today's finish is 20 points and an intermediate sprint has 4 points between first and second. I can't see Sagan doing it today, but I didn't predict yesterday either!
