Ok sorry for creating another TdF stage beyond the daily stage discussion, but this is a slightly different topic. What if the TdF actually got innovative and did something like a loop stage with a short 1-2k steep climb that they did 20 times on a 5K loop. After 10 loops, award time bonuses (like 4 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second) every loop for first 3 up to the top, and on the flat part, award Green Jersey points (or fractional points) for every loop through the start/finish. How exciting would that be?
Yes? No? Would it change the race "too much"
Also 100K would make the stage more exciting.....or maybe 100K point to point and then get on the 10x5K loop for all the bonuses?
