Yeah, just pull a group up a mountain while dropping most of the GC contenders and then sprint the finish too.

This is essentially as much bullshit as Astana in the Giro.

Well they finally got unbanned from the TV in Germany, better keep that going for as long as possible.

The Sporza guys had a "well, the tour's over and we can't go home." moment.
Which is basically a return to the Armstrong/Indurain years, terribly boring races.

Everyone is doping. The key is Sky is really good at it and possibly using stuff that nobody else is / has access to; Its due to that they may be using stuff that could be detected in the future that they may get caught eventually. The rest of the field will never be caught as its easy to dope in various ways now and never get caught, testing is nigh on pointless except to catch the idiots.

Probably a combination of microdosing, new performance enhancing drugs that are not yet tested for and that the UCI doesn't really want to catch the dopers anyway to avoid dragging the sport through the mud again.

They're prob being so brazen with the whole 'destroying the entire field' thing because whatever they're doing will end up not technically being illegal so when they get 'caught' they'll be all 'WELL WE WEREN'T BREAKING ANY RULES'.
