Or just get rid of them altogether. Utterly unnecessary.

Froome is a worthy winner. Consistent in three of the last four TdeFs.
Modest, gracious and personable.

The stage was rubbish duller than dull. Three weeks of very exciting racing topped off with a non race. Complete waste of time.

Have you ever seen an exciting final stage apart from the last 5k, in too many years of watching them I have not. But the last 5 always makes up for it.

I had trouble warming to Froome last time around but, while something about him still leaves me cold, he's done just about everything perfectly.

He's been fantastic. Total superstar. Superb rider, and a great ambassador for the sport off the bike. It might have been different if Contador hadn't been knackered, or if Nibali hadn't been so out of shape, or if Quintana hadn't spent the first two weeks riding himself into form, but as with Nibali last year, you can only beat what's in front of you. And he did so brilliantly.
Now he's done the Tour twice, I'd love to see him have a stab at the Giro and Vuelta and become the first Brit to win all three.

That's often the way with sprint stages though, and exaggerated by the conditions and the fact the stage had been neutralised early. Doesn't mean the sprint itself wasn't exciting though.

ITV4 appear to have cut the national anthem for a commercial break.

Are they really playing the national anthem? What on earth for? Nobody was "capped" for a national team.
