Appreciate the reports Sean and the time that's gone into them,
Think this is a good example of if we have the 0s time gaps problem, the race probably needs replaying as it's had a huge impact on the GC for me.
Grosser lost over 1min that day in a usual stage he would have at least been given the ST as Guerriro and probably Korosec as well as I believe 8 or 12s is the cut off depending on the parcour.
With that time Grosser is pretty much 6th overall, a big leap from 10th, Moscon would have also jumped a few and what's been a bad race suddenly becomes a good team effort.
The good news is this isn't going to affect my season, but I think in theory this could have had a massive effect on the standings for teams and in future probably needs addressing
I agree that the impact is huge, and that the stage probably should have been replayed. However, as the race is now completed, I also fully respect the decision to move onwards.
I am still struggling to figure out our entries into .2 races. I didn't put any real thought into it during our initial ProContinental outing, when Bjorn TORE HOEM managed 36th in the Vuelta al Táchira. Last year, I thought that Marko KUMP would be able to compete as a hill-sprinter but he didn't make the selection at any point. This year we put our chips in on Costa SEIBEB — who at least has seen some recent success at other levels. He hasn't showed anything thus far this year though; we've added four more anonymous stages here.
Congratulations to the winners and thank you for the reports. Shame about the issue with the first stage. At least we can be happy that Fabio SILVESTRE did decently on the one sprint stage.

Thank you all for the appreciation as well. The stages were certainly interesting and not a type parcours that I've participated in before so very engaging stages for me even though we did see sprints on some hillier stages.
On my play, I didn't pick up all the gaps on S1 because some classics in PCM are set to similar gaps although I didn't compare to other ManGame stages in that moment. I just assumed it was a classic transferred into a stage that kept those gaps. At that point of posting, I continued along with the stages I had - but as someone who has shared complaints in other races I want to validate the concerns raised as something going unexpectedly can definitely have an impact.
Whatever decisions for now, future years, etc. - it's all in the effort of making this the best it can be and am here to help do that as best I can.
I was complitly surpriced when I saw results and what Rok Korosec is dooing. I had him in mind for this race but only for one or two stages.
He was definitely a bit lucky on a first stage and his performance was outstanding across all stages.
In the past I saw a on a fesw arces that he is capable to do a great result in easyer races but usualy was only one or two stages.
The whole team did great job even Govekar with not developed full shown that he can compete against others in easyer terrains.
Congrats to stage winners and KOm/team class. and thanks for reports.
