Do kids stay home from school on wednesday afternoons in Italy? Over here they get half a day off in the middle of the week. If so, they managed to put the two most boring stages of the first week at the moment most people can watch. Sunday and wednesday. Since kids are at home, not only the kids who are interested in cycling get to see this turd of a stage, but also parents who stay at home to be with their kids, as well as teachers etc who are also at home.
What are you talking about? Children have to watch cycling most days since they and their mothers are at home all day long anyway...
They are fed up with cycling as much as with football now and crave for the time when they and their mothers will eventually leave the house for more than two hours again on a regular basis...
