For example, how can you discuss a thread on how Team X's DS is doing if you can't mention Team X's results today? How can you answer a thread reagarding Rider B's chances if you can't discuss how much time he gained or lossed today? I can see not positng a thread Rider C wins, but it someone Orwellian that you can't use actual current results to form an argument regarding a rider's chances or a team's performance.
The problem as I understand it is that on the main BikeForums page you can see the thread titles, so if you post a spoiler in the title it may be unintentionally visible.
The other bit is that Koffee has kindly already stickied a bunch of pre-made threads for each stage, with, I believe the idea that you discuss the stage (results and all) there rather than starting new threads.
Maybe I've misunderstood but I'm blissful in my ignorance
