So does the guy leading at halfway never win, mountain stages, sprint stages all confuse the hell out of me as I was built for comfort not speed.Ginge wrote:What bits don't you understand?nikkiboy wrote:Never understood this event but then I never watch cycling so have no idea how the results work.

it really is very easy!
And what nonsense about guy leading at half way never wins, nonsense.
Some stages suit different types of cycling, not tricky. Bit like a decathlon.

Yes there is a prize each day for the daily winner but they add all the times up and the winner of the whole thing is the one who has the lowest aggregate time.nikkiboy wrote:So does the guy leading at halfway never win, mountain stages, sprint stages all confuse the hell out of me as I was built for comfort not speed.Ginge wrote:What bits don't you understand?nikkiboy wrote:Never understood this event but then I never watch cycling so have no idea how the results work.

Re: RE: Re: TDF 2018
Cyclists belong to trade teams usually sponsored by companies. Each team entets 8 into the event (used to be 9). They will usually ride to ensure their top man wins a stage and/or the whole thing.nikkiboy wrote:Never been anything I've watched, what's all the team stuff about then, team Sky etc.
Hence why Sky having Thomas at the top of the overall standings is an interesting one as Froome is 2nd in the overall standings and the intention going into the event would have been to help Froome win it again.

It starts wet and finishes dry is how it works.
