Watch the TdF one of the most exciting parts of the race is when a breakaway or the entire peloton hits 1km to go and passed "Under the Red Kite".
Track has bell laps for longer races, swimming has the same....we don't have anything like that to rev up excitement (maybe the Red carpet in IM races???).
Seems like a 400m to go (or 200m to go) would make things exciting if there is head to head racing or just for participants. Far out enough that something can change but close enough that anything that does change inside this is going to be permanent in the outcome.
