Indeed, quite odd but that's the rule.Pierrot le Fou said:Eagle said:What time does Mollema get?
Initial timing on tour website has him with the Froome group. Seems very generous given the finish.

Saw Nibali, Froome and Quintana finish together and commentary hinted Contador was there too.
Yes, Contador was 8th.TMP402 said:Rollthedice said:Nibs is back. A bit late but it's nice to see him finish with the others. Where was Quintana?

Kwibus said:So Kelderman finished 5th. I cant watch at work.
Painful to be that close, but good effort after all the suffering he had to through so far. Allthough being this close probably doesn't make it better for him

Results have Martens as 5th and Kelderman as 21st
Yeah, or if you're all the way at the back of the peloton with 1.5km to go. Might as well fake a mech and get s.t. as the first group of GC favorites.Escarabajo said:Wow.Pierrot le Fou said:Eagle said:What time does Mollema get?

Next time if a GT contender knows he is having a bad day he will fake a mechanical!

This is the rule:
In the event that a rider or riders suffer a fall, puncture or mechanical incident in the last 3 kilometres and such an incident is duly recognised, the rider or riders involved are credited with the same finishing time of the rider or riders they were with at the time of the incident.
They are attributed this ranking only upon crossing the finish line. If after a fall, it is impossible for a rider to cross the finish line, he is given the ranking of last in the stage and credited with the time of the rider or riders he was with at the time of the incident. For exceptional cases, the decision taken by the stewards committee is final.
I'm not sure how they decide which riders he was with. After all, he was in the same group as GvA and Sagan as well. Or in the same group as Demare who finished 47 seconds back.

Letour site actually has him awarded with +6 seconds whereas the other GC guys were +7 seconds
