I've seen riders not finish prologues and be allowed to continue the race. I also think large Mike Norton (Massachusetts rider/promoter) finished the prologue of the Killington stage race 10 hours slower than the next-slowest time (he started 10 hours late) but since there was no time cut, he continued. |

Weird. As it happens, I was doing my best Euro Driver impression Sunday morning, driving a Neutral Support car for the Tour de Delta (a real event, not something I made up or Tim Krabbé didn't make up). I happened to read the race bible for the 3-stage race, and it made it clear that for that total-time event, DNF-ing the prologue-length first stage TT would result in getting the slowest rider's time, and riders who completed at least half the laps in the stage 2 crit but were lapped (and pulled) would get a pro-rated time. In both cases, the riders could continue in the GC and participate in stage 3, the road race. This has no particular relevance to either the Qinghai tour or the TdF, except to demonstrate that GC time and participation rules can vary from event to event. And also, of course, to brag that I was driving in a race caravan, because that was fun. The 2007 Jetta has far more ability in corners than I do. -- Ryan Cousineau http://www.wiredcola.com/ "In other newsgroups, they killfile trolls." "In rec.bicycles.racing, we coach them." |

And also, of course, to brag that I was driving in a race caravan, because that was fun. The 2007 Jetta has far more ability in corners than I do. a few years ago at the nationals VW supplied us with a fleet of turbo beetles in every colour of the rainbow. it looked very cool, but of course one of them ended up getting backed into a post or something. |
