This year has been good. 10 stages, 10 different winners. Yes the sprinters rule the flatter stages the scrawny guys rule the hills and the GC guys are just riding with the team but this year has been good. The yellow jersey lead out the sprint, that was awesome! Froome wouldn't have done that.
If you watch the in depth interviews its pretty obvious that most guys are "service" riders and they know their roll, its how the team dynamic works. This tour has been excellent, its still really up for grabs of course.....
Nothing really new this year all in all but great racing
