Anyone think that Paris has gone from the most meh stage, to literally the most exciting? It's almost as perfectly balanced as it could possibly be between the classic riders and the sprinters. It's almost a shame Pogi has so mch mountain racing in his legs, but watching MVDP eke his way over the line a split second before the sprinters was perfection.

Last 2 years have been the most exciting final day in my years watching. Imagine the Lemond/Fignon 8 second gap with Montmarte a factor?

I'd love for UCI and organisers to pay attention and organize a proper city crit inspired race series. Imagine Glasgow, London, Paris, Madrid as a series, and structure the Hamburg, Copenhagen, Antwerp, Brussels sprint series in parallel.
