I've seen a couple of documentaries on YT and I can understand the appeal to road bike riders and to the people who live in a region thru witch the race passes. Myself, I feel unrelated tho, and I always considered sport stars to be a bunch of spoiled and one-dimensional brats. Sports is great to do but I don't follow them as a fan. I suspect that one would find anyone at the top of any endeavor to be pretty much one-dimensional. After all, to become "the best in the world" takes a tremendous amount of time and energy leaving little time for anything else. I also find the drive for the maximum performance from the human body extremely interesting. After you've watched a solo breakaway that stays ahead for an entire stage and the poor soul can hardly hold the back of the pack the next day it gives you faith that you can earn better performance with effort. |
