Time bonuses are awarded in some stages for the top finish positions, and for intermediate ‘bonification’ sprints in stages. Time bonuses are generally only on offer in the first week of the Tour and the idea is to generate some more exciting racing, giving the sprinters a chance of wearing the yellow jersey even if they are a few seconds behind after the prologue.
