Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

So....which thread to post and does anyone give a crap

So I popped over to the TdF thread so I can start getting jazzed up about the tour. Last post, 6/16 (I could be wrong) I know there is a lot of crap about doping and stuff but as cyclists, shouldn't we be getting excited about this and talking tactics and stuff?

I know its very interesting to ask questions about the latest wheels, stems and what we may have nearly hit on our most recent ride (don't forget chaffing) but come on people, lets talk about one of the biggest cycling events of the year

I want to know opinions on who thinks who is strong, weak should be in what team and other stuff

Wow, I feel better now..............................thanks

Yeah, doping or no, we can all learn something from watching the pros on a big tour. I'm totally psyched about the TdF, can't wait for it to start.

I think the saddest thing about all of the doping crap is that it obscures what the Grand Tours are really about, pushing the human body to its absolute limit on a bike. Dope or no, these guys give 110% every time, and it's a great spectacle.
