In the Tour, a parade. There's something special about that. In the other GT's, I don't really mind some variation.

TT in Giro and Vuelta, but I love the Champs.

Parade. After three weeks of war, I enjoy the ceremonial ride.

Jungels time will give us a hint of what is going to be the time for the top 4 to play with.

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

Van emden with the 5th fastest TT ever in Giro history. Will have to look at the stats further but still mighty impressive.

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.
