I see that WCS "appointed" a stage 11 winner in the CFF League.
But if you look at the race page of WCS, there is no stage 11 winner but only this word ; Neutralized.
And because in the real life Vuelta, there was also no stage 11 winner,
it is in my opinion unlogical to "declare" a stage 11 winner in the CFF League.

Of course, this is just my opinion, and also of course, this is a very, very, very, very, very unimportant issue.
If you have a different opinion how to "solve this issue", let me know here in this forum ( or by pm ).

I can imagine if someone has a opinion that goes something like this ;
# we play a game organised by WCS, and if it "appoints" a stage winner in the CFF League, it does count,
no matter if it is a bit unlogical, or a bit unjustified, or a bit strange.
Or ;
# because this "issue" is extreme unimportant, let's count the stage win,
also because in this specific case, it really does not matter if there is a stage winner or not, it is just a statistic, nothing more.
( and not of influence in the battle for winning the season trophy of most stage wins ; there the top 3 is far ahead ánd very close ).
Or ;
# another opinion with maybe a creative "solution".

Every opinion is welcome and can be decisive if there will be a stage 11 winner in the CFF League or not.
Just my opinion should not be decisive, I think.
And very understandable if you think it is not worth it to give your opinion about this "issue", due to the extreme unimportance.
Probably so extreme unimportant, that it does not deserve this too long forum post of mine.  :))


About the CFF League after stage 11 ; 
There are some changes because a lot did count in this stage 11 ( except for stage winner & boni-seconds & points at finish line ).
Patrick Kok takes over the green jersey.
Aurora Australis takes over the mountain jersey, ánd moves up to a podiumplace( = 3rd ) in the GC.

A real CFF League update of me, after stage 12.

WCS uses the points scored by riders and teams on a stage to determine the WCS stage winner. There have been points scored on this stage, so there should be a winner. There are less points being given compared to a normal stage, but that also happens in TTTs and we still have a stage winner.

I disagree, as stated before. But also this is my opinion ;
if one person is in favor of a stage 11 winner in the CFF League, it is reason enough for me to acknowledge that winner too.
So / therefore ;  :)
  No stage 11 winner.

CFF League stage 11 winner = Aurora Australis  8)

Just a note on stage 11, btw I would have agreed with ophiuko (even before finding out my view would have been biased), stage 11 awarded around 50% more points than stages 5 & 6, and similar to some other stages.  Of course it doesn't matter now, but it was something interesting to note.

Due to ( again ) protests on the last mountain of the race, that climb was eliminated and the race was shortened by 8 km.
The stage victory was decided by a sprint-a-deux ( see picture ) ; Bernal won versus Landa.
