If this is Contadors last TDF, I wonder if he will be granted the honour of leading the peloton onto the Champs Elysee.

Re:
He is still in a lot of pain and says he lacks the power. I wouldn't rule him out completely.

Re: Re:
I thought about Voeckler but I have a feeling he will launch an early Vino attack for his swansong.
Zubeldia could get the honour but we wouldnt be able to see it... :razz:

Bardet had 13 seconds in time bonuses, which without those seconds (Landa had none) he would be off the podium.
This stat, although he came up one second short makes Landa's ITT yesterday into a masterpiece. Landa did everything he needed to do on the road to get on the podium while at times dragging Froome along with him. The fact that Bardet hung on by one second to a spot he didn't deserve after that awful ITT should hopefully raise more questions about those stupid time bonuses in the Tour.
I was never a Mikal Landa fan before this Tour, but I am now.

Re:
I disagree. Everyone knows what the rules are before the race starts, whether there are boni or not, and winning a position by getting time boni is just as legitimate as any other way.
The asterisk is the bottle thing, but I think most people agree that the punishment for Uran was stupid to begin with.
Personally I like the time bonus if it's not excessive. GC riders should be fighting for stage wins.
