"Both the Commissaires and race organisation of the Gorey 3-Day have decided that following the stoppage of Stage 1, CI points will be awarded to the 11 riders who were in the break at the time of the stoppage. As there is no way to determine who would have won the stage, the points will be added up and split equally among the riders. The stage was over 100km with points normally awarded from first to 10th place. Each rider will now receive 5 CI points. The race organisers would like to thank all riders and teams for their co-operation in what was an unprecedented stage halt in the 38th edition of the race."
