2011 TDF a boring race
Randall
This year did not not have a patron and race is less exciting. The
leaders spent most of the tour watching each other. Hopefull we will
see more panache next year.

You sure got that right
It's much more exciting watching a bunch of domestiques pushing the
likes of Pharmstrong around the course in a wheelchair.

Hmmm, I was just thinking this was one of the most interesting tours
in a long time. The absence of a "patron" actually makes the race far
more suspenseful.
Although, for you Contador jizz lickers, it probably was kinda sucky.

I was hoping to see more attacks from the favorites this year. The
1989 TDF was one the most exciting because Lemond & Fignon were
attacking each other all the time. The leaders spent 99% of the time
to see who would weaken. Sure we saw Contador and Andy Schleck attack
in the alps, but it's still a bit mundane in terms of tour history.

The contenders spend all their time looking at each other,
searching out weakness.

Well at least in this years TDF they did. When Hinault & Indurain they
did not.

The years that Hinault dominated were competitive, though not much,
but the Indurain years were just awful. He had the best drugs, sorry
lungs, and he rode like an automaton while nobody else around him did
anything much. Such a shame his lungs stoped being so big just when
they discovered a meaningful test for EPOS. For non-yanks the
Armstrong years were almost as bad. At least this year we saw some
proper racing. Surely, if the winner isn't decided till the last
couple of days that has to indicate good racing? Certainly, just
about everyone they interviewed on Eurosport thought it was the best
race for years, as did the commentators. I'm not a big fan of the
Tour, preferring to watch real racing, but I thought it was a lot
better than it has bee for years and had it on every day. Haven't
done that for about fifteen years.

There was a meaningful test for EPO in 1996 ?
Those were the glory years for Ugromov and Riis et al.

No doubt racing history and the list of winners would be *quite* different if
their actually had been.

I thought it made great watching this year, certainly much better than
the last several. Last year was particularly predictable.

Somewhere along the way, you have lost the TRUE MEANING of July. FAT and
Randall are what July is all about.
We need to make a cartoon July special so everyone can focus on July
without getting caught up in all the distracting race stuff. Is there a
way to get the Peanuts(TM) Gang into an xtranormal video?

Dumbass,
A bike race's winner is determined at the end.
If this bothers you, watch another sport where the winner
is predictably determined before the end.
Or just go out and ride your Madone. Do you have a
chicken on the seat tube yet?
Thanks,
Fredmaster Ben

Dumbass,
I fixed your top-post for you.
There are a lot of sporting events where the winner is
inevitable partway through the competition. Like a running
race where someone pulls away halfway through, or a
baseball pennant race that isn't close. Or a 3 week
grand tour where somebody gets an insurmountable
lead after one time trial and a couple of mountain stages.
Did you think this year's Tour was less interesting than
this year's Giro? If you don't know what the Giro is,
you can make up an answer and get full credit, because
it's still July.
Thanks,
Fredmaster Ben

Although I am a recognized world leader in the field of artificial
cluelessness, I had nothing to do with this.
RBR is sort of like a baseball team with a good farm system, who are good
year in and year out because they always have major-league caliber talent
at the triple-a level. Our farm system constantly provides quality
position players so there is no need for me to bring any of my lack of
programming skills to the table.

reasonable certainty. We do not agonize over whether the sun will rise
tomorrow. The probability is high enough that there is no suspense there.
The fact that you don't understand Fredmaster's point about
predictability does NOT make you appear more intelligent. On the other
hand, I'm betting that appearing intelligent is not a major concern of
yours.

Well, that's 50/50 now isn't it?
I also think that with FAT you have to be very specific, so you should
say "the sun will *appear* to rise tomorrow." However, be prepared to
debate even that point, or at least hope that if you get into an
argument, Fredmaster will find the topic interesting enough to take it up
on your behalf.

And speaking of 50/50, you can hope that if Fredmaster doesn't take it
up Scott will as he could use arguing with 36 and FAT (they do sound
like something made by IBM) as a substitute for anaerobic intervals on
an indoor trainer.
