Agreed, Sky were Sky but Sunweb and AG2R both had brilliant days that made for exciting racing

This year ASO have put together a parcours that is designed to undermine Sky's dominance.
I was thinking about that earlier. Do you think it will work?
So far has it meant more crashes, or is that just perception?

Have people forgotten how Froome won last year's Tour, he was the most exciting GC rider by a country mile then.
This year ASO have put together a parcours that is designed to undermine Sky's dominance. The race will be harder to control and the set piece GC stages are few and far between, replaced with tricky stages like today. I thought three teams rode really well today, AG2R, Sunweb and Sky, but for completely different reasons, and it was a tactically fascinating stage.
