• Stage win: 25 points
• Top 10 stage finish: Equal to 12 minus stage placement. To make things clear, here is a table of points awarded to the top 10 finishers of each stage:

  1st	25 points
  2nd	10 points
  3rd	9 points
  4th	8 points
  5th	7 points
  6th	6 points
  7th	5 points
  8th	4 points
  9th	3 points
  10th	2 points

• Stage win where 2nd place does not recieve the same time: 8 additional points.
• Day wearing the maillot jaune (Leader jersey): 12 points per day.
• Day wearing the maillot vert (Sprinter's jersey): 5 points per day.
• Day wearing the maillot à pois (King of the Mountains jersey): 8 points per day.
• Day wearing the maillot blanc (Best young rider jersey): 5 points per day.
• Being awarded the final green, KOM, or young rider jersey in Paris: 30 points.
• Being named Most Aggressive Rider of the Tour, at the end of the Tour: 20 points.
• Most aggressive rider of the day (named daily by the TdF Organizer, ASO): 12 points each time.
• Final podium points:
  • 1st: 100 points
  • 2nd: 75 points
  • 3rd: 50 points
• Doping penalties: If a cyclist from your team tests positive, that cyclist forfeits all of their points, and your team loses an additional, equal, sum. For example if you have a cyclist who has earned 24 points and tests positive, your team will lose 48 points (the 24 unearned points + 24 penalty points).
• Drama: if your cyclist is connected to any non-doping related drama, he will be awarded 5 points per instance. Examples: throwing one's bike in anguish after a mechanical in the race to the line, threatening to behead a journalist if they stand on your dog, walking across the finish line rather than riding due to a dispute with Tour organizers, swatting a journalist's hand psychotically before storming off, head-butting a camera... to more honorable yet still dramatic moments, such as owning an asshole fan etc. Generalized disputes such as a rider sit-in recieve an honorable mention but no additional points. The drama must be isolated to a small number of individuals, a maximum of 3.
• Spectacle and Bravado: if your cyclist's actions uniquely enhance the mystique and intrigue of the Tour, he shall be awarded 5 points per instance. Examples would be arriving at the race dressed as Caesar, showing godlike bike handling skills without even flinching, taking the time to fashion a custom muscle or zebra skinsuit, cheating death, crashing into a dog and then coming back to win the stage, etc.
• Off-podium fling with podium girl: 10 points. Can only be awarded once per cyclist.

Notes on scoring

1. If a cyclist has earned two jerseys simultaneously (for example, the white and yellow jerseys), he will receive points for the more valuable jersey and forfeit those for the lesser jersey. Those points will be awarded to the cyclist who is next in the ranking, and who actually wears the jersey, as per Tour custom.
2. If a cyclist begins a stage #1 in the rankings for any of the jerseys (yellow, green, KOM, white) without wearing that jersey, he will still be awarded the points if his reason is acceptable. (For example, Contador's first day as #1 in the General Classification (GC) in the 2007 Tour, after the previous leader was fired by his team.)
3. Drama points are awarded at the sole discretion of me.
