It's a tricky one isn't it, last time out with Wout in the rain it was a bit less exciting. But this year was one of the most exciting finishes ever. The will they/won't they, the attacks, just superb to watch.
But i do like a good sprint stage procession with all the worlds best sprinting for the win... However, that said, you don't get the worlds best any more at the TDF as they've done the classics, the Giro, the other events and the TDF doesn't suit sprinters, so half of them have not turned up for it anyhow.

It's the evolution of the sport though so we go with that.

Overall though, it was an exceptional stage with only a Cavendish win competing with it for top slot.

WOW! That final stage in Paris was one of the most exciting I’ve seen

I've been watching the highlights show on C5 every evening.I miss the ITV4 crew but it's better than nothing.
Pogacar's so good it usually makes things predictable.The Alpe D'Huez stages were excellent & the final stage was a classic.VDP is my favourite rider so it was good to see him win the way he did in Paris,likewise Carapaz winning the climbers comp.
Stage 2 of the 2027 edition goes around here so I'll finally get to see a stage IRL

I never watch the final stage, sounds like i missed a gooden.

Arguably one of the best of all time. It's worth watching. Not just the last 1km which was amazing, but even the 40km before that which was brilliant.
