There’s only 22 teams in the tour, not 150.
Each team starts with 8 riders. Therefore 176 riders started the tour.
I think 147 riders are remaining as of today due to withdrawals or missing the time cut(like cavendish)
FYI, there’s only 18 pro WorldTour ranking teams.
Very good effort by Tom Dumoulin of Team Sunweb by the way, who is also a superb TT rider. It’s possible he could win this tour with a good ride of Saturday.
