Why isn't the rest of etix waiting?

No need to when you have a car that can pull him up and the commiseurs have run out of **** to give.
Still, they should have waited him at the back of the peloton. He was moving up trough the peloton on his own.

Kittel abusing the team car....
Yeah, what are rules with this? Surely ya can't win after drafting a car for 10 or 15 mins, right?
You're not supposed to but I don't think he'll get relegated for it.

It doesn't matter anyway, the UCI race jury just make up the rules as they go anyway so I'm sure they would work out a way to make sure Kittel goes unpunished

the ultimate stage has been factically turned to a parade for the riders completing the Tour with the add on of a sprint critérium in the last 50km ... absolutely nothing wrong with it and the spectators love it too .... on TV it doesn't make too much difference either (all you see in a flat stage is a break and one to three sprinter-riden teams doing the chase) ....

That's fine, but do they have to ride at the speed of a 10-year-old girl on a city bike?

If you are dropped because of a crash or mechanical problem they allow it, if you are dropped because you just can't follow you will be fined.

I'm tipping McLay.

Can't see it, he doesn't have the team to position him well for the last corner.

My head agrees. Perhaps instead of attacking Rowe could have patriotically led McLay out.
