Forgot Quintana was eligible.
And now Riis has made me rethink my whole thing, with Talansky, Mollema and Funglsang.

Yes, but Quintana obviously cant ride in both jerseys at the same time, duuuh!
My bad, thought he was too old. |

I really have no idea, I could easily swap Froome for Contador as I think one of those two won't finish the race.

Is this confirms? I see a start list on PCS but still a list of 13 riders.
If he goes, I'm not sure. Not top 10 material at the moment, I think. Giro was tough, especially with being ill. So TDF won't be super I reckon. |

Well I can see him having a few good stages but after that Giro I don't expect him to contend for a top 10. That's just me, personally, though. |

Article 26 of the 2015 rule book pdf suggests time bonuses for all stages except the TT and TTT https://www.letour...ent-BD.pdf
ARTICLE 26 Bonuses
Time bonuses are awarded at all of road stage
finishes that is to say with the exception of the
individual and team time trial stages.
They are 10, 6 and 4 seconds to the first three
riders to finish.
But the website says:
Seconds up for grabs
They had disappeared since 2008. Bonus seconds will again be awarded at the finishes of the 2nd to the 8th stage. The bonuses will be of 10, 6 and 4 seconds for the first three of each of these stages.
My money's on the rule book being correct and website being wrong but time will tell.

All stages I think, the plan was for the first week only but this has changed, looks like they just haven’t updated the website. |

Adam Hansen crashed out of Ster ZLM Tour, let's hope his GT streak isn't in danger.

Uuh, I like that. I always thought that the bonus seconds makes it somewhat more fun, especially due to GC-guys wanting to gain those.
Some teams are also shaping up well now. Should be interesting to see after Suisse! |
