    As far as I know it's always in reverse order of the team general classement, so will not be known until the end of today's stage. Look for CLASSEMENT GÉNÉRAL PAR ÉQUIPES at the www.letour.fr site. As it stands now Skil starting first, Astana last.
    First team to start at 14:30, last at 16:43

    I would have thought that the times for each team starting depend on their positions in the team competition and so wont be known until today's stage is finished?

    This site shows what time the first and last teams go off though (on CEST).

    EDIT: FGS beat me to it :D

    Whats the time space between teams setting off, I thought it was 2 mins but it can't be if there is a 2 and quarter difference between first and last.

    A quick calc I make it 7.5 mins is this right?

    Wiggins' Twitter just said they were off at 1622.

    So how did Astana manage that one? Most riders in the GC top 10?
    Thought it was the maillot jeune's team who went off last.

    Points accumulated with the teams top three finishers per stage,I gather.
    Astana had 3 in the split...so top points accrued for the day
    so many cols,so little time!

    astana had a large number of top finishers in the Stg1 TT also - a fair decision
