You put my frustrations into words. I was wishing the race was a couple of days longer throughout as you could see the narrative shaping up exactly as any preview worth its salt would have predicted, with the possible exception of van der Breggen's solo victory. The growth in women's cycling over the past few years deserves to be met with an increase in significance in the Grand Tours but as you rightly point out, it's down to the race organisers to do more than just phone it in. Here's hoping we see positive change sooner rather than later!
