Riding each other to the limit until the last kms and then smashing each other with what they've got left and trying to gain 10s of seconds is the common thing now. Don't think any long range mountain attacks have worked in recent memory?
Of course doesn't stop teams smelling weakness and piling on pressure when certain GC contenders are not having a good day.

Could be but makes you question the organisation still following the formula of an x hundred km preamble then 15-40 mins of interest in the final climb if that's how it will shake down.
Mountain finishes really don't have the same thrill at any rate!
