    What are the time bonuses for the stage, btw?

    Its 10,6 and 4.


    Time bonuses are only applied to the general individual classification and are assigned according to online article 2.6.018 of UCI regulations.

    The allocation are as follows:

    to each of the intermediate sprints: 3", 2" and 1" to the first 3 riders
    for stage wins: 10", 6" and 4" for the top 3 finishers.

    Cheers. That's a bit better for Wiggo than the Lord PTP Monkey's answer. We wouldn't want him winning the GC just on time bonuses....

    If Boonen beats Wiggon in the sprint it's ONLY because Wiggins put so much work in on the front. ;-)

    Good win for Boonen. Looked like a tough ride. Going to be some big gaps to the field.

    OK, we can establish the following:

    #1, Boonen can only win sprints from smaller groups, after tough racing with the exception of...

    #2: 3 man groups - he'll only win from a 3up if he's racing for a Roubaix win.

    Yep. Nice finish, but a top ride from Wiggins. They did some damage today.

    Good stuff. Feels like the season has begun now :)

    Didn't realise they're going up Montee Laurent Jalabert on stage 5. That one short climb = damage

    Is it too early to say that Greenedge have taken over Sky's mantle of failing to live up to expectations?

    No, they taken over Leopard's mantle who took over Sky's mantle who took over Katusha's.

    It's the same with every new team, so nobody should be surprised. GreenEdge have been particularly disappointing away from home though.

    What's with this Wiggo business? It's just SO pathetic.
