Re: Re:
You are putting the blame in the wrong direction. Sky are just better at playing the game than anyone else. Radios and constant contact with team cars is the problem. In the 'Good old days' TM no-one knew how many folk were in the break, how far ahead it was, what the time difference was on GC, if someone broke off from the break etc, etc, etc. Get back to that and the uncertainty will create the excitement. But then a couple of years back when they tried to restrict use the pros all compained! :?
There were also more drugs than at a Grateful Dead concert in the 'Good old days' TM so maybe we need some of that too for excitement. :twisted:

I don't think you get to be a world class sprinter without being a bit highly strung sometimes! 
Re:
And you don't have to be a world class sprinter to be highly strung
A good tour with some good stages Froome did what he needed to do the attack downhill jumping on Sagans wheel and a stonking TT culminating in a 3rd Tdf win who can knock him for that chapeau Chris Froome

Re:
My summary, take it or leave it ....
The good bits ... individual stages, Yates' finding his grand tour legs, Sagan's ability and of course Cav
The bad bits - lack of GC winner excitement, Quintana's performance
Hopefully, we'll have a British winner in a few years as Yates matures
