If not so sure. It seems to favor the climbers because they won't be out of it after the first time trial. It seems most years there's a time trial (not just team) before the mountains really get going, so the time trialers put some minutes into the field. Then a climber can go out on a break, but no one cares.
This year, the pyrennees should be really interesting, because the group could all be really close in time. A climber could grab the maillot jaune and use the adrenaline to hang on through the TT. Or there could be lots of changes in the standing each day.
