I don't get it - the organizers want a good Tour, right? So knowing that Astana was coming into the Tour with, by far, the best team, why did ASO not limit the time gains on the TTT?
That basically turned the Tour into LA v. AC, and eliminated everyone else. Don't get me wrong, LA v. AC provides some intrigue, but it would have been even more interesting if so many of the other contenders weren't effectively eliminated in stage 4.
