Despite the overwhelming pre-race favourite almost leading the race from start to finish while winning all mountain stages in dominant fashion, I think there has been a lot of really good racing. It has been most unfortunate that the podium and its order have been settled for over a week; it would have added some much needed GC suspense if Rogla hadn't abandoned the race. Helpers in 4th, 5th and 6th have contributed to the whole GC feeling a bit like a procession at this point, without any real room for minor battles. Quite different to last year's battle for 3rd, 4th and 5th in GC.Wow, you really think it's been that good of a Tour? Now I'm curious to see how everyone rates this edition.
I'll probably end up rating it between 6/10 and 8/10. There has been many worse Tours.
