Has your interest in the tour waned?

[Jackes]

And then we're still waiting for the TBL news conference to come

[clinty]

I just don't know how you stop these guys but my interest has not waned. Just disappointed again and again and......  

[AndreZA]

I don't care about the riders, it's the equipment that draws my attention.

[Jules]

My financial interest has certainly waned. In fact it's been eliminated. I had money on Ricco

[Bateleur1]

Still love the sport will keep watching it.  And I share Cruxie's sentiment.

[Speed Devil]

It's like watching prison break for the second time mixed with a 7de laan plot.... it's a long drawn out story and you know what's going to happen next (in this case another doper getting caught), but you keep watching anyway

[shaunh]

SpeedDevil, well put!!

 I Agree!!! The tour could fall on its @ss tomorrow !!! I'd still ride my bike!

 

 

 

 

[shifter]

No, I think the mountain stages will be more open now, It's crappy

about the dopers, they always spoil the image of this beautiful sport.

 

 

 

[SwissVan]

 

No still interesting.

Yes the dopers getting bust does make it more interesting, in fact they should show the entire arrest, searching of rooms ectera... process before the begining of the next stage.

 

Would be great to know for sure if "the playing field is level"

I don't give a poke about the riders, I reckon they're all doping to some extent!    Some are just cleverererer at not getting caught (for a while anyway).  For me the best part of Tour-watching is the fantastic countryside and scenery - followed by perving the bikes and gear

I would've been happy if Ricco had ridden into the back of the neutral support vehicle at the start of stage 1 and broken his leg, but that didn't happen so I had to settle for a positive test result.

 

That aside, he is the only rider that has had an impact on the race that has gone.  Sure Piepoli won a stage and Cobo was in the top ten, but none of the actions of the SD riders affected the yellow jersey race.  As I have said before, Schleck is inept on a TT bike so he is not a threat overall and the rest all marked each other as they would have done if the SD weren't off the front.
