It was a very exciting stage.

I'm sure they didn't cook up a rule on the spot that gets Gerrans in OrhreParrott wrote:Is that what happens at other tours? Phil and Paul were expecting Valverde to be in ochre having won the stage.

No I guess not but I'd have thought Valverde who has won a stage and is equal on time with Gerrans would be ahead of Gerrans who has not one a stage. Gerrans beat Valverde 3rd and 4th on stage 2, other than that neither have been in the top 10 for a finish. Obviously I know squat about how they do the count back

Yes Greenedge (+ every other aussie rider) has to stop Valverde from getting a time bonus.Parrott wrote:Just heard they count back all the results of placings add them up and lowest score wins. Gerrans 77 and Valverde over 100.
