25 km to the next bonus sprint.

It's the first crossing of the finish-line, so the left-hand corner to enter the circuit is close to the sprint.
The roundabout is 100 m before the bonus sprint. The penultimate roundabout is 500 m before the sprint.

You know what's a shame?
That Landa isn't much of a sprinter. Imagine if he'd decided to mix it up in the bonus sprints in order to try to overtake Mas an get onto the podium.

Tirreno 2016 0 seconds.

Edit: Ok, I can see the results also says 1 second but I remember some rumours that it was actually just 1/100th from the TTT. I don't think that was every verified, though.
I think TTT have always been in whole seconds.

I don't mind Ayuso because he's a bit of a character but can't deny this whole thing is hilarious, one of those niche moments when you think UAE could've really done with Molano as a domestique in this race.

Right, of course. I don't think I knew that back then, though, I think I only caught on to that rule during that year's Vuelta where Movistar and Sky were same time and after stage 2 you could see on GC that the TTT didn't count.

Ayuso probably more chance to beat Roglic in the final sprint than in an intermediate. It's more chaotic, downhill, with more guys participating.

I do think we have to substract from Roglic' clutch reputation for losing that Giro prologue by like 0.0003 seconds or whatever number the Dutch authorities imagined.
