You are including hors délai riders. These are guys that were having trouble going uphill, like Demare.

There have always been large downhill in the tour, and mountain stages that finish on the flat after a descent. It's not a race to be the best climber, but the best three week rider over a variety of terrain. Remember that riders like Nibali and Savoldelli won tours because of their descending skills. I don't consider them less valid champions.

It's not hard to pad a short, flat city course. It is hard to pad 10s of km of variable terrain.

It's called being a complete rider. They can always choose to hit their brakes and ride cautiously. Froome upped his descending game over the years, no reason others can't also.

Maybe they should get all the riders together in a large warehouse and do each stage on Zwift.

Are your posts serious or are you trying to get a rise out of people. Either way, agree with the above. Millennials... sheeesh. May I suggest you spend time practicing your selfies and leave the TDF discussions to the adults.
