Tour de France 2018 **SPOILERS**

Would anyone object to the first 100 riders going off at 1 minute intervals to speed the whole thing up a bit.
That would knock 1hour and 40 minutes off the whole thing.
The riders above 100 would still go off at 2 minute intervals.

First 40 riders went off at 90 second intervals.

Would we see TT specialists deliberately losing time to get minute men to catch or would the traffic disadvantage them and mean only GC riders can win it?

 

[roadrash]
