The reality is that no one knows yet if it is a bubble or not. There are two vocal extremes; those who think it will end badly, and those who think it is the greatest shift in technology since the Industrial Revolution. The likelihood is that it’s probably somewhere in between.

I think this is a direct consequence of having such a hard course. Those riders who might normally get up the road are fighting to stay in the peloton instead.

Yeah, that came across a lot ruder than I intended, it wasn’t meant to. I was agreeing with you and hoping to stimulate a wider conversation.
