Anyway, my point is, that you cant really dominate TTs and stay with best climbers who are better physically built for it (and thus lack TT power), unless you are dopehead like Indurain, Armstrong or Froome.
So pure climbers are cleaner than all-rounders?
They usually have time to wipe their asses after taking a shit, yes.
Yep, without shitgate the Giro would probably have been the most boring in years. (and people already rate it as bad because nobody could make a real difference uphill).
Basically Dumoulin was too strong, and only through his own mistakes it got exciting:
-Shitgate
-Being dropped while his own team was at the front in a downhill (cost a lot of extra energy)
-Giving Pinot/Zakarin a free minute and expecting Nibali/Q to take over
-Criticising Nibali in his own country (igniting extra motivation).
Without that, he'd win by 2 minutes. At least. So. Yeah.
