Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I read it! More flat stages, presumably because fans and sponsors like sprinting.

I was able to read it about 20 minutes ago. Gone now. Pretty much what ColinL said. One less mountain finish and one extra TT. Big deal.

Right! I don't even care about the flat stages, I want more mountain stages and more mountaintop finishes. I mean do we really need 9 flat sprint finishes? Also sad to see the omission of the TTT this year.

It's cycling. Nobody cares anyway. There are 1000x more fans who give a fark about a midwestern flyover World Series before they'll even forget about cycling, which they don't have to do, because they never were aware of it in the first place.

If only there were a way to make cycling 1% like NASCAR.
