And the same ol' 6, 4, and 2 point sprints, the same sprint points at the finish, and the same ol 6/4/2 second time bonuses and 20/12/8 second time bonuses at the finish.
Any predictions?
Iban Mayo - 24'24" behind the stage winner. That's a little hard to understand. Either he's a total headcase, or his 2003 performance was fueled by something other than hard work and guts. How else to explain his total collapse the last couple years?
