People said at the Giro that Froome was done, then we had this superman effort at Stage 19

I do think Froome will work with Thomas because the outcry from the world would be deafening. But we'll see.

So GT picked up something like 20 secs in time bonuses over the tour, more than enough to cancel out his deficit in the ITT. I think he played it pretty smart.

It ain't over .... until all the drugs samples have been analyzed, the right ones buried, the wrong ones tampered with, and the whole thing leaked before any investigation.... and Bardet wins, because he is French.
Then, in three years, the lawyers will tell us who they let win.

Why do you waste 3 weeks of summer caring and watching and posting and just tossing around unfounded tthoughts and theories? Go find something else to waste your time on then. Stop the freakin drug talk already. What else do you want these riders to go through? No other sport is tested like these guys are.
I get so tired of hearing it. I just want to enjoy the event and the sport. If somebody comes up dirty, so be it, but until then, let us enjoy the effort and the glory of it all.

The final stage is too flat for GC contenders to make up any time.
The sprinters teams will keep the pace high to discourage any break aways.
By your reasoning, all of the flat stages are ceremonial since there is no change in the GC.

Not really the same thing all the earlier flat stages don't have champagne toasts or team photo ops but I see your point.
