Young rider ranking

young

The young rider classification is reserved for riders aged 25 or under. The one that is best ranked in the general classification on time is the daily leader of the young riders. At the end of the last stage, he is declared winner of the young rider classification.

Ranking by team

team

The general overall team ranking is established by adding together the three best individual times of each team in all stages.

Combative ranking

combativity

In games, by contrast to reality, the most combative is not designated by a jury. It is the rider who has cycled the most kilometres at the head of the race. The most combative is the rider who has cycled the most during a Tour de France.

Stage rankings

stage

On each stage (apart from time-trial stages) the first 3 earn a time bonus for the general classification.

Time limit

A rider who completes a stage after the time is up is considered to be outside the time limit and cannot take part in the subsequent stages. He is eliminated from the race and disappears from all general classifications. Time limits are calculated according to the type of stage and the time of the winner of the stage. The faster the stage, the shorter the time limit. The time limit is displayed on the profile during the race from the middle of the stage.
