TDF Stage 20 - SPOILERS

I think Sky blew it and Landa could have been on the podium.

Protocol question

Is it a given that Landa can't win the sprint tomorrow, or somehow put two seconds to Bardet and edge him out? Or do they all get the same finishing time for the last stage?

There's no racing tomorrow they say, hope the other teams (not sky) just forget that stupid rule because froome is at the top right now because those same teams remembered the no rules of the races.

Uran is far from Froome but I would love to see his team blowing the race appart tomorrow trying to recover those seconds, same with AG2R, the race finish tomorrow, not today after the ITT.

Even if they do such a thing, what the judges of the race will do? disqualify them?

Stupid rules...!

Landa could have been on the podium. It was not Sky's fault. On a number of finishes he coasted in a gave up a little time here and there.

...!
Uran and Bardet's teams do not have the strength to pick up time on a flat stage. Just remember all of the breakaways on the flat stages went away because Sky and the other strong teams let them go.
