As no stops come with short shallow dives for which you would not take additional gases. Or we could resolve it by stating a gas change is automatically followed by a stop of at least one minute. After all the gas change takes some time. Not to mention esoteric topics like the oxygen window. 

In TDI training you will switch to your "low" deco gas as deep as
possible, usually before the first stop. We often dive with trimix, EAN40,
EAN80 and the switch to EAN40 will be at 80'/25m or 100'/30m (depending on
whether you decided on pO₂ of 1.4 or 1.6 for the deco gas). Which tends to
be before the first stop.
