Options to fix the TTT (to prevent dominant teams from spoiling a good race):
1. Shorten it. A TTT that is only 25kms would sufficiently shake things up without destroying the race.
2. Use a highly technical circuit - worked a treat this time.
3. Remove "5th riders time" rule - making it more like an "Italian pursuit" or "Olympic Sprint" would be interesting - ie, to see if Lance waited for Contador or attacked!
4. Have 2 TTTs - 1 on the flat and 1 up a mountain (WITH the "5th riders time rule").
5. Remove it
