I was looking forward to not seeing Brailsford's bald head but I guess that dream just died.

so TdF continues to be a procession? Cool, I'll continue to watch "Last kilometers" on youtube and continue to have more time to riding. Well there are still Giro and Vuelta, MotoGP, and weightlifting. I think I shall survive this one.

Sky was not the first team to use such tactics. They may have refined it a little yet they were far from the first.
