Worth watching the whole stage or extended highlights to get the full idea of how much Nibali owned everyone (except Lars Boom) on this stage

That's an argument for a budget cap more than against TTTs.

Would absolutely be in favour of this.

To be open, I've only watched the last 3 years so I'm missing a lot of the history. I'm probably a little out of touch. If you can think of stages or tours that determined/affected the GC in that way I'd be interested just for watching.

the most infamous one was the 2010 Giro stage to Aquila where a total breakdown in peloton leadership (Astana had the jersey but were down multiple riders due to crashes and didn't want to set pace, and nobody else wanted to either) caused a big group including multiple GC contenders who had lost time on earlier stages to get 15 minutes. This all happened on a miserable, cold/rainy 250KM day with rolling terrain.

Good ride from Roglic. Gained a lot of time by the end.

That was good fun (even though for most of it I was only looking at the bottom half of the screen because I was practising my own tt position on the turbo during the last 90 minutes, at least I got to see the most important bit of roglic)

Stage 15 of the 2016 Vuelta is probably one of the most infamous of recent times. Results wise it decided the Vuelta on a stage it probably shouldn't have due to some wonderful attacking riding from Contador, but also because it was such an exciting stage with such a drastic effect on GC every other grand tour made sure to throw a stage like it in every year to try and replicate its magic, which has failed drastically every time since.

Loop TTs are also the best stages to attend in-person because you can just hang out at the team buses and chat with the pros...before COVID-19 I mean.
