    They're usually fines for some minor infringement - e.g taking food/water outside the designated zones. Quite a lot of riders will pick up deductions along the way.

    He,like team-mate Intxausti were injured in crash on first day - ankle for him and elbow for latter; both had to go to hospital. (saw this on Velonews).
