Slightly sad the GC lot called it. What's in it for the underdogs? I get that everyone wants to stay upright but I also have limited interest in seeing people racing for a top 10 with 0% chance of winning. If you're rog/jonas/remco sure play it safe. Bu then you should avcept the chancers taking time on you, backing yourself to take it back later. But when the patrons force everyone to cool it and the rest listen they're just throwing in the towel and admitting they aren't even trying to beat the top dogs.
