I think that's possibly the wrong question. In the days of Armstrong and other mega-winners, sure, the strategy would be to mark the guy you know is going to win and not let him get ahead of you.
But this tour had so many GC contenders that this strategy makes no sense, as we can now see. I think the real strategy would have been to just attack. Go at your sustainable limit and try to win... don't hold back just because everyone else seems to be as well.
Everyone seems to agree that this was one of the best tours ever. But I disagree... it was one of the best tour
endings. Everyone seems to be forgetting the massive amount of nothingness (besides the crashes) that occurred for the majority of it, even if they were lamenting this fact just scant weeks ago!
