The last few giri have had final day TTs, no. Seems they want to make that the tradition. Good thing too.

I dunno, I'd have preferred a sprint finish this time

I have done this. It sucks balls and my wrists are still angry about it.

Basically yes, they should have done it the other way :getin:

How hard is it to put a coat on while riding? i'm pretty confident riding hands free but every time i think about it i convince myself i'll come off

On your own, on the flat, at 20km/h it's doable with some concentration. At 40+km/h on a gradient in the pack, in the rain, after 100k of riding? Nah.

This is what you see in a Tour that isn't controlled by a "super team" all on the sauce ie the boring US Postal & Team Sky years. in between those 2 we had exciting tours like this

True, it's amazing the difference it makes from just a pack of riders just sitting at the head of peloton and shutting poo poo down. I'm enjoying it.
