Got the impression today Pinot was fighting more for white than GC?? He checked Bardet and rolled over the line rather than pick up vital seconds Can the white outweigh a podium place :shock:


A Schleck, Contador, Ullrich and Fignon all won GC when eligible

From Wiki so possibly incorrect
The rules for the young rider classification changed in 1983, when the competition was only open for first-time competitors, but in 1987 it became open for all cyclists less than 26 years of age at 1 January of the year following that tour.[2] From 1989-1999, the white jersey was no longer awarded, although the competition was still calculated. Since 2000, the white jersey has again been awarded, open for all cyclists less than 26 years of age at 1 January of the year following that Tour. In 1997, the name of the competition officially changed to 'Souvenir Fabio Casartelli'.[3] Czech auto manufacturer Škoda has sponsored the white jersey ever since it took over the auto sponsorship of the Tour de France from FIAT in 2003.

    I think Pinot has got it now, crashes/illness aside. Bardet can't TT.
