FTDF Stage 1 - Gaviria Guns It

Hello there, I'll have to make this quick, as I spent way more time than I will care to admit calculating scores for y'all. Stage 1 certainly started off predictable enough. A trio of French riders were allowed to get some TV time before the Sprinter's teams decided enough was enough and brought things back together for the last 20 km or so. Less predictable were all the big names who lost a minute or more due to a crash packed finale. Most notable was Chris Froome with this little maneuver.



But also losing time were Porte, Yates and Nairo Quintana. The Columbian was left all alone after a mechanical as his Movistar team were up the road looking after their other two team leaders. When everyone is a team leader, no one is.



The sprint for the stage win went the way of Fernando Gaviria, who held Sagan and Kittel at bay and will start off in the Yellow Jersey tomorrow.



So here's the scores that I made up, you should be able to check my calculations on the Google Sheet at the top of the links list. I can add more Teams as I find out about them.

Stage 2 should, by all accounts, be another sprint, but the finish won't be quite as flat as today.
