1. Very fast downhills with unprotected sheer drops on one side

2. Cars parked on mountain road edges with sheer drops right next to them

3. Spectators standing on edge of high mountain sheer drops with death awaiting behind them

4. Motorbikes leading/following very fast downhill cyclists with twisting curves and sheer drops

    Methinks you'd be better off watching the golf.

    5. Crazy deranged dangerous idiots crowding mountain tops and waving huge flags

    6. Crazy deranged dangerous idiots who run alongside

    7. Ditto in "joke" outfits who run alongside

    8. Ditto with huge green hand shaped things

    People pining for the days of attacking aggressive riding and criticising the race as boring with one breath and giving anti-doping lectures with another. It's time to get off the fence and decide if you want the aggressive drug fuelled day long attacks in the mountains or a clean peloton as you can't have both.

    Very droll, sir.

    Was eating my lunch at the same time this was on TV. Was awful. Needed a five minute break from eating after that. :lol:
