It turns out they received it anyway:

Good evening,

I hope you are doing well. Thanks for organising the games in WCS throughout the season, they are a lot of fun. I have a quick suggestion regarding the 'Final time' extra question. Given the number of stages that are shortened or cancelled last minute nowadays, maybe it could be worth giving the points looking at the average speed rather than the final time?

This is of course just a suggestion. Thanks again!

Kind regards,

Guillermo (ophiuko)

---------------------------------------

Hello Guillermo,

Thank you for the suggestion. It is appreciated that you take the effort to send us an email.
It is already on our list of potential improvements for the cycling game. As you suggest it tackles the issue of stages that are cancelled, neutralized or shortened.
Execution of the suggested change depends on the availability of the person that developed the scripts.
We run WCS with two persons in their free time.

Best regards,
Barend Wijnreder

I sent the email with the suggestion but got an 'undeliverable' due to 'Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full)'. I hope they continue keeping WCS alive many years, I would be sad not playing it  :'(

P.S. I'm a bit annoyed by the numbers of tours where I've finished 2nd so far this season.

Does anyone know if we can send suggestions to the WCS admins? Given the frequency of last-minute changes to the length of the stages lately, it think it would be a good idea to change the extra question about final time so they look at the final average speed instead of the final time to give the points. We can still input the time (which is automatically translated into speed). It would mean that they have to modify the stage length when a stage is shortened though, but I don't think that's too much work?

Mas attacked in the final km, but took a wrong turn at a roundabout with in his wheel Romo and McNulty.
Grégoire could profit of their mistake by taking the right way at that roundabout.

Second time this happens this season. What is going on?  :o

There was a motorbike with a camera in front of Mas after taking the wrong turn, so I would blame the organisers this time. If the motorbike was supposed to take that turn and separate from the cyclists, they should have made it clearer for the cyclists that they shouldn't follow the camera bike.

Hahaha just for the race I had decided to take a risk and pick more sprinters than most people  ;D

Good news that they are adding more races. Maybe the lack of races at the end of last season was just a temporary issue.

Que sepáis que sigo actualizando el primer mensaje de este hilo a la vez que el canal de discord.

Hoy ha sido batido un record que merece especial mención ya que difícilmente será batido de nuevo:

- Valerio Martin (22 años, etapa 16)

record previo era de:

- Arnfinn Mikalsen (22 años, etapa 42)

Just so you know, I keep updating these at the same time than the chat channel.

Today a record was beaten that deserves a mention because I don't think it will ever get beaten again:

- Valerio Martin (22 yo, stage 16)

previously held by:

- Arnfinn Mikalsen (22 yo, stage 42)

Thanks Vos for the update! Congrats to Vos and Mitte for the really strong season and see you (hopefully) next season!

Congrats Mlb! It was close, just 9 points behind you (and Vos 8 points behind me). Don't worry, I'll win the jersey next year with the WC in Kigali, Rwanda. I am the king of Tour du Rwanda (2x, tied with Animatoca but I win due to the most recent victory  :P), so I'll use all my knowledge about the Mur de Kigali.

By the way, next year women U23 will have a separate race, so hopefully there will be 6x races in the WC jersey game.

I noticed there are only 4 left in the games calendar in WCS, skipping the three World Tour category races in China, plus many .Pro races. Are the admins just not keen on the season end or should we worry?

I just realised that winning the women's race is absolutely worthless with only two races this year :D

Well, if they skipped the elite TTs, no doubt they will skip any u23 races. It looks very much like it's going to be just the two that are already on the schedule. I guess the admins are fed up with the season already  :-\

Interestingly, the TTs were not even in the races calendar (including those without games), where they have a lot of races including 2.2, 1.2 and u23. It's worrisome. Are they on holidays? Is it the end of WCS?

I did not see this race with, to me, unexpected results and surprising GC shifts. Maybe the race profile was different as I thought.

It was a gamble at the end. Everyone against Van der Poel. Van der Poel didn't have any helpers (3 of them had to abandon on stage 1), so when the hills came at the end (short but steep), everyone was trying to attack (Hirschi and Vansevenant the most insistent) and Van der Poel kind of trying to tackle every attack. The lucky attack was the one of the quartet (Gaudu, Tiberi, Simmons, Jegat) for which Van der Poel didn't have any remaining strenght/didn't estimate them dangerous enough. After they took some gap, of course no one wanted to pull behind (only Hirschi for UAE, Ayuso was struggling and fell behind in a third group which eventually caught the VdP/Hirschi/Vansevenant group). On the final hill, VdP attacked, followed by Pedersen, but the front group was already too far away.
