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.
