comment on TdF….and why its boring

Wouldn't the Tour de France be more interesting if rather than accumulated time determining the winner they used the results of every stage and awarded points based on your placement in the field? As it stands, it would be like baseball always playing 7 games of the World Series but the winner was based on total runs. Team A wins game one 10-1 but then they lose 6 games in a row by 1 run every game. Yet, they still win the World Series because they scored more runs over all 7 games. At least in baseball a team could score a boat load of runs in the last game and make it interesting. In a stage race, the race can over before its half over. Have to say I didn't watch 10 minutes of it this year for this reason and that professional cycling lost me with the doping, especially since the UCI knew what was going on.
