Maybe they should be a bit more creative with the final stages of grand tours. Not suggesting you need to abandon the convention of having a stage where GC isn’t challenged.
But at the same time, why should guys who’ve been brutalised in the mountains for the last three weeks have to race a fucking crit?

Because the same guys racing the 'crit' also dragged their arses over the same mountains and because it's a 3-week GT, not a 2.9week we're not racing the last bit GT.

Also a commercial decision I am sure. A shit ton of spectactors, lots of events in the city, you get to see the riders come past multiple times, lots of extra sponsors etc
hippy
