What are the time bonuses available in the final stage to Paris?? Are there time bonuses at intermediate sprints? What would Cadel have to do to make up the 23 seconds?

..... What would Cadel have to do to make up the 23 seconds?

He would have to break the legs of all the discovery riders!

It could but won't happen. If Cadel showed any signs of working for the sprint bonuses it would become a team battle and clearly Disco is stronger than Lotto. Cadel would be risking 2nd place.

However, it would be very cool to see a 3 man all out fight for the finish.

Even if Levi could not match Cadel for the Sprints, George and Popo would've marked him.

I would think that even if they would have wanted to, QS with Boonen and Barlo with hunter would be interested in those points to the point of not giving Cadel a chance.
