Well that was rather entertaining. . Combine the heat and hectic work to catch the Tunisian champ at the end.. it was enjoyable to watch..plus the desert really does have it's own beauty..

First stage I've ever watched - can someone explain how the bonus seconds work?

Well II a not sure how Abu Dhabi sprint bonuses work.. but normally a scale.. so 1st gets x amount, 2e x amount and so on..makes the GC comp rather interesting.

Thanks, I heard something about "time bonuses for the intermediate sprints" ... what would the "intermediate" mean? And surely they publish how the bonuses work sonewhere?

Ja.. they do it at the Tour of california too (time bonuses at inter sprints ) intermediate sprints are placed during the stage. Today there were 2 during the stage at various intervals.

 

At the Tour de France it's points.

 

So here at I understand they have an actual intermediate sprint competition too (black jersey)

 

Sure it's on the website. .I just haven't had a look as yet
