icebreaker said:Anyone who thinks this is the most boring tour ever must either have a very short memory, or just doesn't like the fact that the dominant team isn't American.
There is nothing going on here that didn't go on for all 7 years of the Armstrong era.
Those were dull tours.
Armstrong was more exciting to watch. At least he attacked after his team was done. Sky just rides tempo until the finish. Note that I'm not saying Armstrong made the Tours really exciting. Just compared to what Sky is doing now, he wasn't that bad. But as you said yourself in your last two sentences, this is a dull tour.
