The route for the final 2 stages of the 2024 TdF were revealed this morning.
Stage 20 is a mountain stage from Nice to Col de la Couillole and the final stage will be a 35km individual time trial from Monaco to Nice.
So no 'parade' stage for the sprinters to contest, which might disappoint some, but the organisers will hope that the GC drama goes right to the end LeMond / Fignon style.
But I worry that they're losing all the spectacle of a bunch sprint finish, in the hope that there will be some nail-biting drama for the yellow jersey.
It might not play out that way.
