I was wondering whether doping in cycling actually adds to the viewers pleasure or not. At first I thought yeah for sure, but then I thought which were my favourite tours (i've seen all from 85 onwards).
My favourite ones were 87, 89, 86, 2003, 2006
Most boring were 1993, 2005, 2007, 2008 (not so much because some of these were dominated, but more because there wasn't much attacking going on by the leaders. It was more who was last to get dropped.
I'm assuming 86 to 89 there was less effective doping practices, 2007 - 2008 appeared to have less doping by the leaders who finished in top 5 based on power measurements, average speeds. The I'm assuming were heavily doped.
So my score for favourite is 3 non doped, 2 doped.
