I remember being shat on here saying Armstrong was doped to the gills...ah good times They ought to allow doping in every sport. Imagine the fun. Hole in one par 5's, routine murders in boxing and killed by pitch in baseball. Imagine the collisions with 11 Ray Lewis's playing. Sounds awesome!! |

it should be a team sport, one guy riding and the other guy sitting on the handlebars like we used to do it back in the day
when the first guy gets tired they just switch
also the guy on the handlebars should be holding like a six pack and a bag of doritos

You could say that it's similar to football in that there are riders with particular jobs whose sole purpose is to get the leader (usually climber or sprinter depending on the stage profile). There's a lot of team tactics involved. Also, as I've said before, cyclists are some of the grittiest athletes on the planet; the antithesis of soccer. I'd like to see Doritos incorporated, but the UCI (governing body) would likely ban them. |

Fall asleep and wake up an hour later and things haven't moved. I can understand why someone would like it, just call me once the attacking part starts (I guess people feel the same way about soccer). I would love to do a mountain stage as a fan. Camp on the mountain, get shitfaced with locals and scream at passing cylists |

Peacock streams it. I love the Tour. My son is a bike rider. He's done Ironman competitions and a fair amount of other races of varying lengths and I got hooked on the sport due to his involvement. On most of the stages there is a lot of strategy throughout the race. There are 22 teams with a few strong ones that tend to dominate but stages can be 'stolen' by the less dominant teams if the opportunity (or crash) happens. As far as a soccer reference, no comparison. These guys are traveling 40kmh and they are a few inches away from their competition. A number of riders have died in bike races. In soccer the worst that happens is an ingrown toenail and hurt feelings.
