I think there was a perfect amount this year, it gave the sprinters chances to win, and gave the other riders a chance to “rest” between the hard stages.
I mean stage 18 despite having a great winner was boring to watch as well. Breakaway stages aren't always great. Now the Gravel stage and stage 17 with all the echelons were amazing.
For me there must be more hilly stage in tour de france next year its interesting to watch like the win of turgis camparnaets or bardet
It all comes back to the discussion around the overall length of the Grand Tours. At 21 days a piece, it’s nigh impossible to fit in a fourth and they end up crowding out smaller races. It’s especially frustrating the way the women’s Grand Tours are completely overshadowed as a consequence of not having a fully open spot on the calendar. Would it really be so bad to go from 21 days to 18?
This year was fine… some awesome sprinting… if they take out sprints then teams won't field sprinters so yhe sprints will get worse. Stage 1 should be an Team Time Trial…
Less sprint stages they are just plain boring until the last 20 seconds
I think part of the sprint stages being boring were the incredible hard stages on the other days leading to many riders wanting to chill on sprint stages (until last 20 minutes)
No! This years Tour has been boring. One of the worst in quite sometime.
6 sprints
6 mountains
6 hilly/gravel/ breakaway stages
2 individual time trials
1 team time trial
It’s Fewer not Less.
Now having said that they get it about right I’d say . . . although I think an easier start to the tour and giving other teams a change at the leaders jersey keeps things interesting. Domination of tour from start to finish can be one dimensional.
I want to see a pure hill climb TT stage
Absolutely not”!!! Go change history somewhere else. 👎
Yes. 99% Boring AF, followed by 1% argy-bargy crash-fest. 🫣
I think sprint stages are more technical and more difficult to understand how they work, so are not as fun for the casual viewer, so I can see why they want to do less. I love a sprint stage though.
I love sprint stages. I tune in mostly to watch the sprint stages!
I would have more sprint stages and scrap the TT
Agree and less serious accidents!
I think what we saw in the sprints was phenomenal and breathtaking moments, I say its best haw it is.
HELL NO!!! The Tour is usually perfectly balanced in its variety of stage types💯
Mic them up. I saw a video of that and if the viewer was 'in there with them,' in all its chaos, they would love it😊
ለ121 አመታት ያላነጋገረ ጉዳይ አሁን ምን ተገኘ ?
የቢንያም ነገር ሳያስጨንቃቹ የቀረ አልመስለኝም 😂😂😂
ለማንኛውም ከኦሎምፒክ ድል በኋላ እንነጋገራለን የቢኒ ደጋፊ ከኢትዮጵያ 🇪🇹
Why all of a sudden you want to scrap the sprinting stage is it because an African won the green jersey?
