T-Mobile mistake

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I don't really understand the details of the Tour and what's going on with scoring and whatnot.

Could someone please explain what the deal was with Ullrich and Zabel, and what was wrong with their finish?

They could have been talking about the green jersey competition for Wednesdays stage. A t-mobile rider who isn't even in the competition finished ahead of Zabel and took points away from him in that competition. It was a bonehead of the day award for sure. The green jersey competition is the sprinters competition for best sprinter.
