What rule changes would you make to skew it away from Sagan? The only ones possible would be no intermediate sprints, and disproportionately more points for first in bunch sprints. And sagz would still win anyway.

I'm not actually saying they should change the rules for Sagz, just comparing the reaction between Froome's dominance in yellow and Sagan's in green, which is arguably greater. I think changing rules to 'level the playing fields' so to speak is dangerous when a team or rider is dominant. They tinker all the time in F1 and it remains deathly dull.
And Sagz should win green because he's best all-round rider, incredibley consistent finisher and this year took three stages as well. Chapeau

Does anyone even watch the intermediate sprints?

I totally agree, Sagan frequently makes the Tour, certainly in the last edition. But even it you were to take a hatful of stages his climbing and the fect he gets into breaks, and the fact he goes all in for intermediate sprints when the peloton are together, while the pure sprinters save themselves, just means green is a foregone conclusion. They've tweaked the rules before, when Cav was winning 4-5 stages a Tour but Hushvod was winning the green. And yes, ask Cav if he'd take 4 stage victories over green he'd say stage wins, but he'd also love to win green if he could.
And it's not so much it's boring, it's just that it's given at the start every Tour Sagan will win green if he finishes. Just a contrast to the reaction to the dominance of Froome that no-one seems to be talking about it.
