There are two riders with minus points (-5 and -10) in the points classification. What are minus points given for ? I presume an infringement of some kind - yet the two concerned would hardly be bothered about that - they were never in the points competition ?

    They were naughty boys.
    Remember that you are an Englishman and thus have won first prize in the lottery of life.

    Yeah, small infringements. Drafting cars too long, taking food at the wrong time, peeing in public etc. On twitter the excellent @inrng has been publishing the fines each day. He wrote an article about it for CN here: http://www.cyclingnews.com/blogs/inner- ... -de-france
