Proposition: the Dauphine-Suisse-Tour thing has become a black hole. Virtually unwatchable.
After the early season build up, the greatness of the classics and the always entertaining Giro, the season drops off a cliff right when it should be reaching peak interest.
The Tour has become bad for the sport: there's too much at stake in it, too much investment in results; it is worth too much, it makes too much money. It suffocates.
