Yeah, I think that save the last 50k the opening stages have been a bit boring. They're mostly long straight runs from A to B. Yesterday was a welcome diversion from this. I don't really want pave carnage and I accept it as the nature of the transfer stages needed to get from North to South. However, if I were designing the stages myself, I would make them shorter and more technical, even if they stayed flat.

Boring tour so far? It's only been 5 stages, most of them flat sprint stages. Do you want pave carnage every year? To me that is a bit boring. I'd rather see more stages like yesterday.
If you look at the profile, there will be plenty of excitement in week 2 and 3. I don't think Sky are 'boring' their way to a win, they're just aware that it's back loaded into the final week - so they're staying out of it.
