Fernandez said:Contador out of contention at the first stage, Porte also loosing time for a flat tire, SKY controlling the race as always, no GC battle at all, Quintana looking bad at the moment, the madness of yesterday in Ventoux... I find this TdF hard to watch at the moment.
The only positive thing I find is Sagan and some of the stage winners.

The cobble stage alone is much better than these 12 days of racing.IndianCyclist said:So far better than 2012, 2014
I dont cheer for Contador, Im not a fan of him. I just expect a good GC battle; and in this Tour the GC fight has been a disgrace so far. I wish the Tour could recover from these first half.Guybrush said:Fernandez said:Contador out of contention at the first stage, Porte also loosing time for a flat tire, SKY controlling the race as always, no GC battle at all, Quintana looking bad at the moment, the madness of yesterday in Ventoux...

it's about how your favourite riders perform, if you're cheering for Contador this certainly going to be one of the worst
Exactly, it comes up after every GT, but not 2/3 of the way in. People just like to complain...FYI the 2016 Vuelta is the worst GT ever!gazr99 said:Swear this topic is brought after almost every Grand Tour nowadays, only 12 days in GC battle has only just started
