There are big time gaps


After yesterday's stage he is 1h36m35s behind the yellow jersey, which puts him 92nd. On many stages a large group will come through the line together and all get the same time. You could be 40th or 100th and still get the same time if you are in the group. So daily placing may not have a huge impact on cumulative time. He had a good time trial and placed 40ish, but it was only 36mins of riding. It's not going to change his overall too much when he has been on the bike for 57h48m so far in the Tour.

The team ranking doesn't really effect Ben. It's another competition within the tour like the Green Jersey, KOM. It is the combined time of the top 3 riders on each squad, but nobody really cares, its all about the individual general classification.
