What if Landis is Stripped of the Win?

Hi,

If after the adjudication of the banned substance allegation against
Landis has run its course and if it is upheld, how will the winner of the
2006 Tour de France be determined?

Will they have to recompute all the times and points awarded throughout
the race as if Landis had never participated? Or do they just give the
Yellow Jersey to the current number two, Oscar Pereiro, and likewise move
everyone up one in the general classification?

Points? Landis wasn't in the running for the points competition.

Or do they just give the
Yellow Jersey to the current number two, Oscar Pereiro, and likewise move
everyone up one in the general classification?


They could adjust the time bonuses but it probably won't change anything
between Pereiro and Kloden.

Right. Time bonuses is what I meant, not points. According to
http://www.velonews.com/tour2006/results/articles/10554.0.html, 32
seconds separate Kloden from Pereiro.

Would individual stage win reassignments only be done for stages that
Landis won, or for all of them?

Simple: everybody is bumped up one notch. The real beneficiaries will be
the 2nd, 3rd and 4th, since they will see a bigger check. The Tour
winner gets 450,000 Euros.

What matters is the difference in placings between Pereiro and Kloden.
If Pereiro and Kloden finished 2-3 behind Floyd on some intermediate
sprints, which I don't think they did, and similarly I doubt there were
any/many relevant differences at the end of the stages.

If Pereiro and Kloden finished 2-3 behind Floyd on some intermediate

it's already computed and factored in the final results. they will not
change anything, except bumping up everybody one notch.

They will only have to recalculate from stage 17 to the finish. It
will be done as if Floyd never started on the stage he was caught
doping on. Other than everyone moving up a place there might be an
adjustment of the polka dot jersey standings since Landis snagged a
bunch of KOM points in the 17th stage.

Nice try, but Bzzzt. Wrong.
