related points will be awarded starting from Stage 1 (Sunday, July the 4th).
Only the Stage-by-stage and Overall Ranking Points will be awarded after the
Liege Prologue ITT (Saturday, July the 3rd) instead!

bonuses when they get into the stage Top 3 places, so Virtual Teams will earn
additional "Bonus Points" in case they manage a Top 3 finish in any "Virtual
leg", Team Time Trial included.

- 2nd: The runner-up (second place finisher) in every stage is awarded 10
further Points.

Very Important!
Any rider who should fail an anti-doping test (or being excluded from the TdF
because of doping-related reasons, just like it happened in the 2002 Giro
d'Italia) DURING the race will immediately LOSE ALL of his POINTS in the Riders
Ranking. (His TRADE Team will not be punished in the Trade Teams' Classification
though). This sanction wouldn't apply to riders disqualified due to disciplinary
reasons, like Francesco Casagrande in the same 2002 Tour of Italy. |
