THE MEDAL RACE
The Medal Race rewards stage victories and podium positions for riders in each team.
On each stage (not including the Team Time Trial), the winner of the stage is allocated a Gold medal, the runner-up is allocated a Silver medal and the third place finisher is allocated a Bronze medal.
Teams are ranked in the Medal Race based on the number of medals won by the riders in their team.
The Medal Race leaderboard is ordered by the number of gold medals each team has won. The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If teams are still tied at the top of the table at the end of the Tour de France, then count back is made on fourth place.
The winner of the Medal Race will receive a minimum of 10% of all takings from Premium Subscriptions.
