Stage Result - Team Time Trial stage

Stage 2 is a Team Time Trial and its unique nature means that it follows a specific scoring plan compared to the the other stages.

Points are awarded to all team members in the Top 6 teams classified by finishing position in the team time trial, based on the following table. Riders do not have to finish alongside their leading team members to receive points. However, they do have to finish the stage as a classified finisher.

Note that riders also score Daily points as normal for Daily General Classification, Daily Points Classification, Daily Mountains Classification, and assist points for Teammate General Classification positions and Overall Team Classification positions, after the TTT stage.
