No still interesting.

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

They should have big brother or survivor style ceremonies for those dumb enough to be caught.

Noooo !!! Big Brother ?!? is crap and as for survivor....

Something like a Carte Blanche camera man is more what I had in mind.

ja, disspaounted, not surprised, really hoping Evans can pull it off.

 

we haven't had much luck with previous ex-mountainbikers leading the tour - think Landis and Rasmussen.....

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' date=' but that didn't happen so I had to settle for a positive test result.

Same here.  The news that he had been caught made my day!

 

This just makes the tour interesting, so no.

I'll ALWAYS watch the mountain stages, love the pain, the fans, the descents... apart from that I have pretty much lost interest:

 

Sprints: Petacchi, Boonen aren't in the race, McEwen and Hunter are not performing.... only redeeming factor is Cavendish.

 

Mountains: Ricco banned, rasmussen banned, contador, basso banned.. Valverde very disappointing

 

White Jersey - never interested me in the past

 

Yellow: LA retired, Jan + Basso banned retired, vino, Contador, rusmussen, etc etc etc banned.

 

 

So quality wise its like watching the Vuelta where most of the stars are missing.

 

Hopefully the Evans/ Schleck/ Sastre dual will liven things up.

I don't give a poke about the riders' date=' 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  [/quote']

And the podium girls. Go on, admit itWink

 

You mean theres a race behind the podium girls?

 

I thought it was some rich guy like heffner showing off his birds to poorly dressed blokes in lycra and funny shoes...

I will probably continue to keep an eye on it, but I wont be sitting in front of the screen throughout the race anymore.

 

Its like watching a hollywood movie - back in your mind you know nobody can jump out of a car at that speed and survive, but you watch it anyway, - same here, I will always be thinking, No,No, thats not possible, but it has its entertainment value.
