Soooooo, the podium were all TDF finishers and 2 of them were on the TDF podium and the other won the last 2 stages. 

Who was the highest finisher that left TDF early to prepare?

Highest placed guys that didn't ride the TDF were: A.Yates in 9th, Schachman in 10th, Almeida in 13th.

Fuglsang I guess is the highest  of the guys that pulled out of the tour in 12th, but he pulled out after stage 20, so I dunno if he really counts.

Apart from MVDP, I'm not sure who else pulled out specifically to prep for the Olympics. Roglic and S. Yates abandoned mid race, but I don't think that was really to prep for the Olympics. It was more due to injury. If they hadn't crashed, there's no chance either of those guys would have abandoned the tdf.

Hardly surprising, MvdP had a great start and missed the chaos at the first bottleneck, sitting comfortably with the front group.

Anyone know what happened to Hatherly? Don't see him anywhere
