I don't know how true it is, but the point was made (by Millar I think) that the majority of the field don't ride P-R.

Like throwing a rally stage into a GP, I suppose.

Given how well so many of them did today, maybe they should ride it.

The skills a GC rider needs are often well suited to the classics. I appreciate it’s a different era, but it was normal for the top riders to ride all the major races 20 years ago.

That occurred to me too.

Perhaps it was an attempt to favour more rounded riders?

More gnarmobble in future...
