La Planche des Belle Filles is a first category climb, so offers 10 points to the fastest rider, 9 to the second and so on. The points are awarded based on times on the climb itself, so whilst the GC riders will be fast up it, they also have to go flat out on the preceding 30 kms, whereas Carapaz, and possibly others, can ride within themselves, then go flat out for just the climb.
How many points are left? I thought it was 12, 1 today, 1 on final stage 10 on the TT?
I can’t find if it’s 10 maximum/ only or 10 for first then descending points awarded. Presumably the later given @andyp comment?
