Tour Bonus Points
It was an innovation on the last Tour de France: bonus-point sprints will be reintroduced in 2019. Bonus seconds will be awarded at the top of the 8 following hills or mountains at key places of the course:
- Stage 3: côte de Mutigny
- Stage 6: col des Chevrères
- Stage 8: côte de la Jaillière
- Stage 9: côte de Saint-Just
- Stage 12: Hourquette d’Ancizan
- Stage 15: Mur de Péguère
- Stage 18: col du Galibier
- Stage 19: col de l’Iseran
It will have no influence on the points classification.
