I wouldn't say this sport, just the Tour. Year in year out the most boring race on the calendar. We've had some great racing this year, especially the cobble classics.masking_agent said:DNP-Old said:This is so boring.
yes, this is what the sport has become. The only action will be in the last 2 kms or less.. I'm waiting to turn on the tv with 5km to go.. heh heh

Predictions with 3km to go:
Stage win goes to the break
Froome, Bardet, Uran together along with a small number of domestiques/dropoffs from chase group
Aru dropped
OK, let's see how close I am.

DanielSong39 said:Froome will mark everyone and gain a few seconds at the end. All but clinches the Tour.
Aru to drop.
Bardet/Uran to fight for second.
Landa will not attack barring a Froome disaster. He's not going to gain 3 minutes anyway.
meat puppet said:5-6 rider teams would be one answer to this tediousness. Also no radios and no real time computers of any kind (recording very OK, just ban viewing the data during races) on the bikes. Especially no real time power and doubly especially no real time estimation apps that tell you when your anaerobic capacity tank will be spent.
Then make the point system software that it does not reward protecting gc 5-15 spots or something
