20 seconds penalty.
Difficult to avoid when it's right in front of the camera bike.
"Normal" is to draft the team car to the back of the convoy, then car hop up to the peloton. Drafting right past the convoy is a bit OTT.
UCI have now thrown Stam off the race and fined him 500 Swiss Francs. Good decision.

Did AvV get held up behind the crash ? Or was it s split ,Will the time be restored ?
Just watched Laterne rouge YouTube vid AvV got held up in the crash so got the same time as the bunch ,Dunno. I haven't seen anything, just had a peek at the rankings on the website.
Edit. Yes, time has been restored. AvV now showing as same time as DV (00:00:01) In the GC AvV has 12 seconds on DV
I really hope this mucking about backfires on AvV and Vollering
