I don't think it's possible for this tour to get any more bearing. When the highlight of a race is a few flat tires, you can't get any more boring than that. Someone just give Wiggins the trophy already because no one is going to attack.

Afrank said:This tour is no where near the level of excitement of last years, of course with 100 km of time trialing and a team like sky bringing back all the dangerous attacks we can't expect much. To bad there is not a Schleck or Contador type rider at this tour, it is missing a rider that can blow the field apart with a single move.
auscyclefan94 said:The tour is boring as hell. I originally thought this was quite a good route. I think the way the race has progressed has resulted in a rather boring tour so far. I will still watch it for the love of the sport.
Maybe Dekker_Tifosi should come and visit this thread as some non-Cadel fans are actually saying it is a boring tour. :rolleyes

It's such a lame Tour. It's like a 21 day charity ride that on occasions breaks out into a race.

Complete trash.
