How do the times in the tour de france work?
by ReneS
Question by Rob B: How do the times in the tour de france work?
I just find it hard to believe that after biking those huge distances that theres no disparity between the past few days. I mean how can lance armstrong finish 8 seconds behind the leader for like 5 stages in a row. I’d atleast expect to see a few seconds difference after each one. Anyways if anyone knows the answer please clue me in.

Answer by Jules
they ride in large groups, the largest called the peloton. they all get the same time as everyone in the group they finish with. also some get time taken off if they win a sprint. look for bigger changes in time as a result of individual time trials or mountain stages.

do you think tom boonen should be allowed to race in this years tour de france?
Question by ~B: do you think tom boonen should be allowed to race in this years tour de france?
Tom got busted for cocaine in an out-of-competition drug test. it has no cycling penalty (because he wasn’t competing at the time), but Tour de France organizer ASO is saying he’s a poor role model, and thus cannot race in the 2008 tour. Good call or not?

Answer by mtbwacky
Ulrich got popped for the same thing, and he rode in the Tour. Out of competition, it’s actually a detriment to your training. So I think yes.

Rein Taaramäe @ 2012 Tour de France
Exclusive interview with Estonia’s Rein Taaramäe (Cofidis) after stage 8 in the Tour de France, between Belfort and Porrentruy (SUI). Fight for the white jersey (best Under-25 rider) is as determined in the 2012 Tour de France as the battle for yellow jersey. Rein Taaramäe was wearing the coveted jersey the 8th July, at the finish of this year’s first mountain stage. However he was expecting a tough race within the remaining two weeks, because of his opponent’s determination: Tejay Van Garderen (BMC), Thibaut Pinot (FDJ-Bigmat) who won the stage in Porrentruy, etc.
