I didn't see it. I gave up hope after Froome didn't falter yesturday in the only hope to change the final GC at that point.

ETA: Your point stands, just re-read the cyclingnews live feed. Sounded like the stage could have led to atleast some good racing as many were not ready for the conditions of the road. I always hate the "neutralize or not" BS that riders discuss mid ride......makes me go back to Spartacus who would push the pace when the cobbbles took out the other team's leaders then cry foul when his own leader went down and he wanted it neutralized.


So to your point, if today's stage was ceremonial, put it on a ceremonial stretch so that they don't have that type of rider discussion mid stage.
