It is an online game. If they aren't here one day it is sad for us, but they can always play stages win.

in that case we should attack the 60% offline a stage and 60% offline stages in a tour rules first
15km offline really isnt a lot, imo one could even up that for normal races. after that one could argue about having a rule like this for tours aswell, but still it doesnt happen often and if a noobs does it on it surely isnt on purposeand you can still easily not let him affect the race too massivly

I think the Offline tempo is used more often wrong than meaningful, at least in all the races I did. So maybe it's not the badest idea to introduce the 15 km offline rule in tours or as a compromise we introduce a 30 km offline rule in tours.

Absolutely opposed.
As long as we have people who think it's cool to put the whole peloton in autotempo to hurt the offliners, let the offliners have the chance to avoid this fate by making tempo.

We could also stop the autotempo in addition to introduce the rule in stages races. But as I said before....the 2 or 3 times I saw Autotempo for the peloton it would have changed nothing if there was the 15km offline rule because the guys offline did nothing at all.

anyway all offline following follow or attack is more problematic than offline tempo imo

Is there a UCI rule forbidding attacks that are not ordered from the team car?
