I think I have 3 of Lances TdF wins on tape. I don't ever watch them
because of all the tape wasted with podium shots........like who gives a
shit. If you cut those out, it would cut the footage by 50%. And it's
yesterday's news, and tainted with all the drug use that has been outed
since those years......so you know it's fake. "Breaking Away", is the only
cycling tape I would probably watch. You know it's all kind of boring,
.......it's too bad they can't really capture what the race is all about.
Now if they did what Nascar does, and had helmet mounted cameras (they're
tiny), and listen to the riders talk, instead of that insane euro racket on
the side of the road, it could be interesting. So I'm thinking, that's why
they try to spice it up with police raids on riders rooms, to catch 'em
red-handed with their drugs. Kind of like the show, "COPS." The devil and
the angel on the side of the road has "jumped the shark", so where do they
go from there? Chris Carmichael's training spots, make me yawn
uncontrollably, and we know it's all hocus pocus, it was the t-patch that
Chris put on his balls that made him go. So will I watch this year? If the
cops bust some of riders, maybe.....and I would love to see Riis in
handcuffs too, but if they pretend that's it's a real race, no.

I suppose you are still making up your sleep debt from FRAAM.
You can tune in the third week if they have any riders left.

Dude, the Tour starts tomorrow and your troll form sucks. I'd
re-evaluate my preparation if I were you.

RAAM types don't get super-motivated in case its puts their necks out of
joint.
