Riders and team staff alike at O Gran Camiño have praised the race organiser's decision to neutralise the times for the opening time trial stage for the GC after galeforce winds rendered the exposed course in A Coruña too risky to use time trial bikes.
The main reason for such widespread approval of the decision proved largely to be based on safety concerns, on a day when the stage came close to being cancelled completely, for what would have been the second year running.
