This is definitely the sprinters generation. Sagan, Cavendish, Kittel, Gaviria, Greipel, and a few others make it probably the deepest sprinters field I can ever remember. Opposite of the GC field, which seems very weak. Everyone not named Froome seems to have a glaring flaw.
Gaviria is definitely good and has the best train, but he didn't use it like Cav did who would just obliterate the field. On the plus side, he looks like a guy who could win one day classics as well.

Best thing about the TTT stage is I can just read the recap tomorrow and it's like I missed nothing at all. I love the TTT (and ITT) as events, but they are a drag to watch.
Going into that, I knew people were going to go down, it was just too tight.
