Maybe if the team time trial wasn’t there or was later in the tour it might have contributed to more excitement.
After it happened, some possible contenders were already working from a handicapped position.
Maybe the reduced team sizes actually works in Sky’s favour, as the other teams always looked like they could do with one final man in the mountains where Sky still had Poels/Bernal.

Been a bit of an odd one, for sure. I've kinda enjoyed it, the will he won't he tension thing building slowly. Seeing both windmills and froome busting a gut despite their Giro efforts. On the other hand it's been strangely without fizz. Windmills, Thomas, Froome and possibly Roglic a class above numerous also rans that curiously include names like Quintana, Landa, Bardet, Yates, Valverde, Majka, Fuglsang. And Luckless Martin, Porte, Nibbles, Uran all neutralised too early.
On paper it should have been a cracker.
