Tour De France

[Nige]

Not sure whether I've said this before but I've really struggled to get into watching/following the Tour De France.

Not much of a cyclist to begin with and I've never quite understood how people get so much enjoyment/excitement out of watching hundreds of lads cycle for days.

I suppose it's not for everyone like most things in life haha.

It's not really exciting, the sprints and rooting for people/teams is what makes it good. I just find it enjoyable and relaxing.

That being said I've hardly watched this year due to the WC and other stuff.

[Toga]

I'm the same, it's not really exciting but all the same I like watching it. It's very tactical as well!

gotta watch some Mountain stages, one of the most exciting sports IMO. Better than baseball.   :P

Watch a real sport, like lawn bowls.  ;) 8)

The scenery?

No seriously, the mountain stages are unbelievable. At least when Cadel was there they were.

[Ringo]

Agree Doc The scenery is worth it just to watch it go bye.  And Phil Leggat can make anything exciting.

[tor01doc]

Contador out.

Porte second - now it may be worth watching.

[Ringo]

Porte made up nearly a full minute on the leader and is only 2 and half minutes behind.  Hope he did not burn too much petrol trying to chase him down.

[tor01doc]

I reckon that Italian won the stage.

Richie Porte
Richard Porte
Richard Door

;D

[Ringo]

Not much change is this stage with all challengers crossing the liune together.  Porte still 2.23 down on Nibali.
