    are these TT's too long if riders spend all week busting a gut to gain a few seconds then lose it and more on one 34km ride.

    No. The TT power guys get 1.5 chances to gain time. How many mountain stages are there for the featherweights?

    I dunno. Are mountain stages too long if you can create far bigger splits in just 34km and everyone gets to go home early?

    Some riders lose minutes on the mountainous stages, so it depends what sort of winner you want.

    Confused - that ES display showed the gap at 56 seconds.........?
    Presumably just an error.
