It will be unfair on the Sanchezs. It has to be more specific

Basically, any more than a bike length = split.

The last rider through gets eliminated from the race
Old&slow said:I would permanently ban riders previously caught cheating in the Tour. Byebye Contador. This Tour is already much better without him. Why not keep it that way.
I would make the first week a bit easier. This trend of so many classic type stages takes a toll on the riders and results in Tours like last year with far to many crashes. Riders need a few more easy stages especially the first week. Although I did really like the cobble stage 2 years ago. It added quite a lot and had a good effect on the standings.
I would bring back the TTT more often and make it longer and more technical. Make riders pay a greater price for having a poor team.
T-Rav. said:I'd establish an actual combativity points competition for the most aggressive rider, based on the amount of time (or distance) a rider spends in a breakaway in front of the peloton. Maybe require a min. gap of 10sec be established on the peloton before a rider starts getting credit for aggressiveness. With current technology we should be able to keep track of who's off the front of the peloton and for how long fairly easily.
