It's attraction has dimmed for me since the Landis disgrace and others.
Boy do I miss those Lance days of "the look", the Beloki crash and Lance's short cut through the cornfield, and remember the musette incident? And yesterdays huge crash forced Danielson to abandon...too bad. |

I watch as much as I can! Today's stage win by Fromme was amazing. To lead up the mountain like that and beat Cadel Evans in the final stretch was fun to watch. I was yelling so loud the family came in to see what was wrong!
Yes there is a lot of doping in the tour but I love the Tour de France. France is so nice. The riders are so cool. I love every part of it. Sprinters, climbers, time trialers, podium girls, etc, etc. I just don't like the crashes and the doping.

I have to agree with HappyHiker. I love the tour and I hate the doping. It has been disappointing over the years to see so many of my favorites have great races and then find out about the doping. Finishes like yesterday are why I keep watching.

I watch it, or follow on the web. It's getting more interesting now that they're in the Alps. Yesterday's climb to the finish was great. Today's 7 climbs should make it interesting also.

Most definitely. Love to watch the re-run @ nite. Seems likes theirs been far too many crashes this year though. The finishes have been great, had me up and yelling as well.

I started watching when I was working in Denmark in the 90's. Cycling is so big there everyone in the community watches. At that time Lance was unstoppable. 'Roided out or not it was awesome.

I've been watching here and there, but I'm paying more attention now that they are in the mountains. I enjoyed yesterday's climb of Col du Grand Colombier.

I would like to see something other than Team Sky pace Wiggins to Paris, but I dont think Cadel Evans has the legs. Teejay Vangarteren was practically towing him and he still cracked.
