[quote="Andrew G"]The TTT = Too short in distance, but on road bikes to avoid the logistical nightmare and cost of taking 8 TT bikes over for 8kms.
Actually, it gives a non sprinter a shot at the GC in a flat stage race.
[quote="Andrew G"]Why race in Qatar = Money, money, money, money, money.....
The race is boring as hell as it's all pan flat roads through the desert with no scenery, or even bends in the road, for mile after mile.
Did you see the race last year!? Oh my god. It was proper racing. I don't see you complaining about flat windswept roads causing echelons in the Tour or the Classics!
[quote="Andrew G"]lots of non race fit riders getting dropped as there's no reason for them to be race fit in February.
