This tour shows that you shouldn't take any stage lightly. Crashes, mechanical, tummy ache, wind, etc. Every day brings something new.
You can't rely on just one stage to win. You have to fight every day. Lots of folks thought AC had the TT rapped up compared to other GC riders. Menchov could have been even closer with very little change in the TT and the last mountain stage.
Oh well, great tour.
