@Lods think of the TdF as a blockbuster game during the season, some players will rest up in the leadup to be in peak condition for that 1 game.
Maybe Tennis is a better understood example, you’ve got the Grand Slam tournaments and then a whole host of “warmup and satellite events” that constitute the season.
TdF, Giro Italia, Vuelta de Espania, Paris Roubex, Criterium du Dauphine then a plethora of minor races make up the cycling season.

As G2C says, on off days and even pre/post race warm up/down, the riders turn out enormous numbers
Let’s go BIG !

I guess what I'm arguing is the 'more is better" philosophy.

It just results in burnout, mental fatigue and injury if there isn't some down time as well

At the end of the day Lods, they came out and won following the break in a game they had to win despite not having a ruckman. Lets hope and pray they go on with it.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Yep
I'm still not sure what they all did during the break though.
Whether some took the opportunity for extra sessions or some just had a complete break.
I think it would probably have been a bit varied and individual.

The important thing was they looked like they were back at it early in the week, and looked pretty switched on from the start of the game today.
