Watched it tonight for the first time. I have to say that I have no idea whats going on with all the tactics and placings… looks much more to it than I thought.
I watched some of it at work during lunchtime then the last 15km or so in the afternoon and I had to put up with that from all my workmates:
“Doesn’t it get boring just watching some guys ride bikes”
“No, they’re not JUST riding bikes, there’s team tactics, temporary alliances, race planning for the next few stages (ie ease off for today so you can win tomorrow), mechanicals, crashes, the scenery, all sorts going on”
Someone requested that it be turned over to watch the cricket. 🙁
Numpties.
