TDF team rankings...what's up?

[gianni p]

I always understood team rank in a stage race to be combined time of top three placed riders from the team. On Cyclingnews and on letour.fr, ALM is listed atop team rank despite three Astana riders in the top four! How can that be?

It's based on the times of the first 3 riders in each team to finish on each stage being added togeather.Not the overall time for the top 3 in GC.
