What's a countback?
I can't seem to find an on-line rulebook or anything. I'm wondering how a countback works, exactly? In the case of a tie on time, the guy who has the best placings in the previous stages of the race takes the jersey?

Its time, then points (green jersey). If they can't separate them on time and points it's who finished in front of who or countback to the previous stage.
Unless the rules have changed.

From the ICU rulebook regarding road stage races:
Where two or more riders make the same time in the general individual time placings, the fractions of a second registered during individual time trials (including the prologue) shall be added back into the total time to decide the order.
If the result is still tied or if there are no individual time trial stages the placings obtained in each stage shall be added and, as a last resort, the place obtained in the last stage ridden shall be taken into consideration...
