Tour de France Points and Time Bonuses

🟢 INTERMEDIATE SPRINTS – GREEN JERSEY POINTS

Only one intermediate sprint per stage (on most days).

Points awarded to the first 15 riders:
20 – 17 – 15 – 13 – 11 – 10 – 9 – 8 – 7 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1

✅ These are lower than final-stage sprints but still crucial for the Maillot Vert (Green Jersey).

🏁 STAGE FINISH SPRINT POINTS (Flat stages)

Top 15 finishers on flat stages:

50 – 30 – 20 – 18 – 16 – 14 – 12 – 10 – 8 – 6 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1

✅ Flat stages like Stage 1 and some upcoming ones give maximum points for sprinters.

🟨 Hilly/Mountain/TT stages award reduced green points depending on terrain (e.g. 20 for a summit finish).

🏔 KOM (King of the Mountains – Polka Dot Jersey)

Points vary depending on climb category:

✅ Double points are sometimes awarded on specific HC summit finishes — none in Stage 2.

⏱ TIME BONUSES

Awarded at stage finishes only (not at intermediate sprints):

• 🥇 1st – 10 seconds
• 🥈 2nd – 6 seconds
• 🥉 3rd – 4 seconds

✅ These bonuses affect the General Classification (Yellow Jersey) and can cause time gaps early in the race.
