Jewbacca Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 If only the race organisers would check with us first..[emoji53] Sent from my SM-N9005 using TapatalkI quite like it... It entices the sprinters to hang on a bit longer before they pull the plug. It means attacks could get yellow for 4 days with a mountain finish followed by 2 or 3 sprint stages in weeks 2 and 3... The TT at the start might see the winner in yellow for 4 days so it should be fiercely contested. All in all it 'looks' as though it is enticing a more aggressive style of racing and not the 'sit on each others wheels till week 3' type we have had in recent years. With sprint stages separating mountain stages deep in the race it allows recovery between fireworks... Well, that is what I am hoping for anyway... The classics specialists like Dagenkolb, Stybar, Greg van etc must be licking their lips at a few of the stages...
