I’m sure I’m not the first bloke to suggest this, but I wonder if instead of the first rider who gets to the King of the Mountain location gets the points- breakaways will get the points no matter how slow they go up the mountain, but instead, using the transponders and locators on the bikes, award the points to the riders who have the fastest time from bottom to top of climb.

I imagine the climbs would take on a new urgency even if a breakaway was already there, of course it might limit riders going on breakaways, but I don’t think so.

Tour season always makes my weekend solo rides more aggressive!

Cheers,
