What do you prefer for the final day of a GT:
Parade (ie: TdF Champs-Elysees)
TT
Hard road stage (this is my preference)

they had 20 stages to race hard, let them enjoy the atmosphere or at least make it good for spectators with TT

This. I don't really mind a hill on a circuit, but don't finish a GT away from civilization.

Plenty of decent cities in Italy to finish(hill of sorts) a GT in style with a decent circuit road race.

Not a fan of final day TT.
 
This could very well end up like TDF 1989. Lemond vs Fignon. Dumoulin vs Quintana. Dumoulin isn't as good a climber as Lemond was at the time, but Quintana certainly isn't the TT rider that Fignon was. Still, this will be close. I say no more than 30 seconds, quite possibly less. Maybe it'll be a virtual tie and they'll have to play a best 2 out of 3 rock paper scissor to decide who gets the tie breaker.
