The points system was changed because Prudhomme felt it was stupid that he kept winning but never got the green jersey. So if he can't win it on a system even more biased in his favour than the old one, which was already biased towards sprinters, then he needs to take a good long look in the mirror.

Or at least find a convenient scapegoat to whine about.

Changing it to suit him may have been the intention, but it certainly isn't the result.

True and Prudhomme was right to change it. I like it the way it is now.
2 bunchsprints during a stage is actually quite entertaining during an normally boring flat stage.

Prudhomme also reduced the number of easy pancake flat finishes which makes it harder for Cavendish to win. So it equals out.
