Here are the TTT rules (although I'm sure they have been posted elsewhere)
as posted on Serotta Owners Forum.

Don't know about you, but they are confusing to say the least.
I thought max a team could lose is 2min 30sec. but from this looks
like 3 minutes.

Coefficient 6 (team time trials) :
The permitted finishing time is calculated according to the best time (time of the 5th man in the
winning team) plus 25%.

Article 24 – Team time trials
(art. 2.6.023 to 2.6.024)
Teams start their team time trial at 5 minute intervals in the reverse order of the team ranking
established following the 3rd stage. As soon as the 1st team starts, training is forbidden along the
route; a separate warm-up area is provided. The stage ranking is established for each of the teams
based on the finishing time of the 5th rider in each team (to the nearest hundredth of a second). An
identical time is given to all teammates who arrive within this same time, even if they actually finish
quicker.
The procedure for establishing the general individual time ranking is as follows:
Times for all riders are calculated according to the gap between them and the 5th man of the winning
team (scratch time).
If this gap is less than that given in the table below, then the actual time recorded by the timekeepers
will be taken.
If the gap is more than that given in the table below, then the rider will receive the time of the winning
team plus the additional number of seconds indicated in the table below according to the place of
their team.

20’’ for the 2nd team
30’’ for the 3rd team
40’’ for the 4th team
50’’ for the 5th team
1’ for the 6th team
1’10 for the 7th team
1’20 for the 8th team
1’30 for the 9th team
1’40 for the 10th team
1’50 for the 11th team
2’00 for the 12th team
2’10 for the 13th team
2’20 for the 14th team
2’30 for the 15th team
2’35 for the 16th team
2’40 for the 17th team
2’45 for the 18th team
2’50 for the 19th team
2’55 for the 20th team
3’00 for the 21st team

Riders who arrive on their own after the 5th rider in their team will be credited for the general ranking
with the actual time they took to complete the stage.
However, riders finishing outside of the permitted finishing times (coefficient 6) will be disqualified.
As far as the general team ranking is concerned, the actual time of the 5th man in each team will be
the time recorded for this ranking.
In the event that a team no longer has at least five riders, those remaining must finish the stage
within the permitted finishing time cited in article 22 (coefficient 6). The time recorded for the
general ranking will be the finishing time of the last rider in that team.
Riders from the same team are forbidden from pushing or pulling each other along.
Food and drink will be supplied by the team staff from the sports director’s car at the back of the
group, once they have reached the designated feeding area.
