I prefer your #1 solution. Works best for me to be leading on CG after two stages then crashing out of the crit.

Ha Ha. See that's why personally I like the Friday TT. The very first stage race I ever did I won the yellow jersey from the first day TT. I am good at TT's but not if they are on the same day as another race. I know everyone else in theory is in the same boat, though the omnium format allows any one to register for any of the races individually, but even so it's hard on me doing two events in one day.
