中途冲刺点减秒确实是多年前就有了
去年最后一个赛段前Vino落后Leipheimer2秒
中途冲刺点抢回两秒,最后赛段冠军又获20秒
结果反超了20秒
还有下面是04年环法规则关于奖励的一部分
Article 26 – Bonuses
(art. 2.6.014 – 2.6.018 – 2.6.020)
Bonuses are awarded at all in-line finishes from the 1st to the 20th (except for the 4th, 16th and 19th
stages, which are time trials): 20’’, 12’’ and 8’’ for the first three riders to finish.
In each intermediate sprint, from the 1st to the 20th stage, 6’’, 4’’ and 2’’ are awarded to the first
three riders to cross the intermediate-sprint finish line. The race management, in consultation with
the stewards committee, reserves the right to move or to cancel certain intermediate sprints for
which bonuses are awarded.
The bonuses are included in the general individual time ranking.
