1. cheek kissing is done a different number of times in different parts of france, as well as different parts of europe. depends on your upbringing
2. the time cutoff depends on the type of stage it is (flat, medium hills, mountainous) and other factors. it gets so complicated i quit trying to figure it out
3. i don't know how long they wait to do the presentations
4. lance was also in a lawsuit with simeoni. he bridged up to the breakaway and let the group know he wasn't leaving unless simeoni did. my understanding is that the other members of the group begged simeoni to leave so they could have a chance at winning the stage. he and lance dropped back to the bunch
