Year after year ...

Year after year the TdF is boring.
I know this because I am told so,
and I believe everything I am told.

This year, however, we have a chance
to see history made. We could see the
winner of the final stage get awarded
the Lanterne Rouge. How cool is that?

As the years have gone by and incresingly in the last 20 - 30 years we
have seen an enormous rise in the expectation of sponsors, especially
extra-sport sponsors, which, coupled with radios, for me at any rate,
have tended to make the race boring because of the effect they have on
the riders.

Last year, the lowly Volta a Portugal, sans the GT prima donnas, was much
more of a race.

That's Davey's two roubles worth.

Radios didn't kill the Tour.. Operacion Puerto did.

Nothing killed the TdF, it's alive and well and attracting huge interest and
audiences. [1]

Looks like Tyler might have blown it, Jan Ghyselinck's got nearly a minute and a
half on him now, he needs to practice some track stands on the Champs.
