Boring tour ?

I usually watch every day but this year I find myself doing work around the house even going out for a bike ride while the tour is on.

And with Froome playing Lemond to Bernie Wiggins it's even less entertaining.

I am starting to think it's better with dope. I want to see Ricco, Landis, Pantani and Armstrong battle in the mountains... instead it's Jim Ochowicz tripping over himself on the side of the road that's been the most entertaining 'action' in this years tour.

I think this has been a average tour, but not a great one. Personally
I had been hoping that Cadel Evans would win again. But this will be
great victory for British cycling. The brit's have a great cycling
heritage. So it's nice they have a victory after all these years.

Riding bicycles is a bit dangerous for someone as inherently unbalanced as you,
I should stick to doing a bit of hoovering Anton, that's right up your street.

Any tour a Brit wins should be boring. That's how they do things.

Today was more piercing than boring.

I hear next year Slime is going to be a major Tour sponsor.

Nah, the UCI is going to mandate 2" wide steel belted radials for all future
Grand Tours.

There was not any real memorable attacks this year. If Contador is
back on form then I predict he will smash the field next year.

Even Andy Schleck did at least try and attack last year.

Watching Boasson-Hagen single-handedly riding down a break full of
climbers on a col made me go all nostalgic for the good old Postal days.
