i disagree. i actually enjoy a lot of the race. granted the first 1-2 hours of each stage of le TdF can be boring/lackluster, i love watching the "chess game" of break aways and chases and all. even watching the pack after a feed zone and/or the one guy w/ 12 bottles in his jersey distributing them to the team lol
and of course the last hour of each stage is generally pretty cool. especially when its some lesser known cyclist out front, alone trying deserately to maintain the lead.
last year i paid for the VS online viewing of le TdF and was able to listen/watch every single stage (while at work!!!)
