* Reconstructed from published race reports, not captured from the live feed. The gap figures and the breakaway catch are reported; group sizes are estimates, and the backwards-from-the-finish pass cannot run at all without rider numbers. Treat the kilometre as indicative, and do not use these stages to judge whether the analysis is any good — it is partly reading its own homework.
