The Tour has featured stages like that before. The year Indurain was challenged by Piotr Ugromov (93 or 94) definitely had one, which Ugromov won.

Can't have been often that someone put 3 minutes into Indurain on an ITT, hilly or not!

I had a mad idea that they should have a 40km ish mountain TT with a col, a descent, and another col with a mountain top finish. And then, to really mess things up run it as a pursuit with the leader sent off first and everyone subsequently at their GC intervals....
