Touring

Well, in all fairness to the Tour de France, I will point out that it becomes much more interesting once people hit the mountains. My previous gripes that the breakaways always fail really only applies to the flat stages. Yesterday (and the day before according to Suzanne) people managed to beat out the main group. I think it's a lot more interesting to see lots of action as people try to ditch everyone up steep mountains. Today is a rest day, and tomorrow is the last of the Alps. But we've still got the Pyrenees.

I agree that the mountains are the more fun stages to watch, but a close second is guessing which rider will be kicked out for doping each day.
