It was actually a stage 1 TT not a prologue, inner ring did a tweet explaining the time cut would apply so I assume the teams knew.

I see.
"Prologue? strictly speaking a prologue is an opening time trial up to 8km in length but it is equally possible to start with a time trial and label it as Stage 1 too. So it’s semantics but with one difference: should a rider crash during a prologue and be unable to complete the course they are permitted to start the race the next day and get the same time on GC as the last rider in the prologue; if the opening TT is labelled as Stage 1 and the rider does not complete the course then they are out of the whole race."
Still wonder if he was aware. They might not have made a big thing of it thinking it wasn't a risk. But then Rogi smashes it and how much time is there between him and this rider? Unfortunate anyway.
hippy
Suckage. I wonder if he even had the time cut in mind on a prologue?
