I’m not shocked, just disappointed
Ok then 🙄
No, but I don’t understand why you’re shocked disappointed. Millar, Contador et al were always racing this year, it’s not like it’s a sudden shock announcement. Last year was also ruined in the same way. And the year before, and the year before that, and indeed the year before that. As was the Olympics, and the Giro, and the Vuelta, and the Dauphine, and the Paris-Nice, and the Paris-Roubaix. See where this is going?
Either you care, or you don’t, hand wringing now seems rather misplaced!
Professional sport is there for one thing only, and that is to entertain. If you are looking for more than that then you are in for a big disappointment.
This, I don’t get why people care so much! The Tour will be entertaining, and the presence of some people who have cheated, and some who are cheating does little to detract quite frankly!
