I don't think there will be. I guess it'll be 3 groups and 2 pass from each group by the GC, 6 in the finals.

I will be streaming the group 3 Road Semi-Final

Dinli, again im not placed in a group in indivudual speed, last time you said that I play in the second day of the sprint tournament.

I see that Jeis don't got a adversary, do I play against him ?

I forgot that. I will fix it.
Btw can you host?

_________________

Yes, i can. The third time you ask me

But no problem everbody can forget something

Ok you gonna play vs Jeis in 1/8 Final. At this moment you can't find a better solution, because if we do a new draw we will change the structure of the event.

Thanks !

I see now in group that i have to play against Thomas.

So i play against him and not agianst Jeis ?

I think I made a mistake and didn't see my name, sorry for my dyslexia !

We dont want complains about any decision, so Polo talked with me and told me that he didnt care about this event, so he gave to you his place.

He is like Geraint Thomas.

but i think Stijn-DV had a freeround so if you put edox - Stijn DV, polocav can play tooo and you dont have to change the system...

_________________

In the calender it says that omnium second chance is at 19:30, but in the topico it says that is at 20:00. What is the real time?

I know but then StijnDV could say that the draw "gives"him a free round and it isnt fair for him. Polo doesnt like play "sprint", so there is no problem if he doesnt play. I said to polo that i could try change the games to allow he plays, but he insisted to me that it not necessary.
But thank you for your preoccupation.

The event will start at 19:30 CEST (18:30 in Portugal). There is a mistake on topic, i will correct it. Thank you João.

Damiano, yesterday you asked me inside the game and I did not have the time to answer you. Well, this year we wanted to change the road structure. A lot. The past year, we believe that the road event always had a lot of players in the same group. In our opinion, many good players we're unable to reach the final of hte event because of blocks. 5 or 6 players per group was an acceptable number that allawos all participants to play their best, within the game's possibilities. So as you may have noticed, this year we had fewer subscribers to the road event compared to the year before, but you had more days of road competition compared to last year. This was the biggest reason for the changes. Then, we decided to atribute points to the mountain and intermediate sprints, as we do in our national champioships, in hope of more strategy and action to the race
Since the beginning, we never thought about putting a second chance to end because we think 6 players is a reasonable number of players to play in the same match. With more than 6, in my opinion, a number of extra factors would come inot play for the players, and we can't control those factors. And as to the two best players of each group going through into the final, 4 stages will be played, and we though it was enough for the best players of each group to stand out. But I understand your point of view, and I think if we had more time to extend the WC, we would have another round before the final. To give an example, we would send 6 players to the next round, and 2 or 4 into the second chance. Then we would make a semi final with 8 or 10 players, and final with only 4 or 5 players.
