I'm trying to imagine what this does to the race dynamic but it's like everyone has to skip foreplay and go for a 60km ramp test... Does this favour Alaphillipe at least keeping podium? He cracked today but only near the summit c.80km in. But then... if everyone is going balls out from km zero then there'll be no break and no eyeballing of who forgot to refrigerate their blood bags.
This is all deeply unsatisfactory, I'd like to speak to the manager please.
