    Tour de France...anybody following it?

    I'm not a huge fan, but damn, this must one of the roughests sports out there, 3 weeks 5-6 hours daily on a bycicle, sometimes at 90km/hr, no wonder that some of those guys were using dope, it must be exhausting.

    When you think that in other sports they are whining when they have a 1-2 hrs game, in which they effectively play a few minutes, the rest of the time being more preocuppied about their hair or looks, at every 3 days...

    A true man sport this one. Besides this watching the competition it's like making a 3 weeks trip around France, with all the amazing views and shit.

      I didn't even know it was on. Once Lance Armstrong owned it, there wasn't much interest for me. Anything that gets won by the same guy 6 or 7 times in a row loses value in my book.

          Why bother if an American wins they'll just accuse him of doping and then taint his sample.

            A lot of riders were officially accused in the last years, but never Armstrong. Or are you talking about Landis?

                      I do not watch it, mainly because I am working. But last year at work we hooked up a computer and a projector and then we watched TDF while working - that was cool ;-)

                          By the time they get to the final stage, the race has already been decided.

                          I think the last time it actually came down to the final stage was 1989.

                          You should watch the mountain stage, they're pretty exciting if you're into that sort of thing.
