Its not the riders that suck, but the fact that contender focus stages are minimal: MTF 11 12 ITT 9, 19. All others are for sprinters, and day racers not a threat to GC. I m happy with less explosive, uber-jazzed cyclists , but push them hard, and let them scrap for 3 weeks not just two...

After stage 12 there's only the one long time trial that distinguishes leaders. Only 11 and 12 with mtf! WTF. This is the least interesting TdF in my memory, 25+ years of close following. Very disappointing.

Because he is an honorable man. If winning were everything then just as he was already neutralizing AS 's attack he could have just as easily gone with AC giving him the support. He has redeemed himself in my eyes.

did AC think AS was tired or waiting for him? No, when he abruptly stopped 60ft ahead it was clear that it was a mechanical. I have not disliked a rider so much in years. In fact one that I disliked redeemed himself today, by pausing and was ever onward a respectable rider. Thanks VINO
