- no kidding, great call.
- sprinters don’t count - what a comment. tell that to a sprinter. they get the majority of the wins throughout the year.
who doesn’t watch much cycling?
there is more to racing than GTs.
- You're BOZO the CLOWN ! That was to easy!
- anytime a very dominant rider is someone willing to take on a leadership role on behalf of the peloton, he’s referred to as a patron. just being the best rider, even by a wide margin, isn’t enough. it has to be someone with a personality that is strong and assertive enough to LEAD. hinault, definitely. armstrong was a patron. everybody hated him and he hated them right back, but he was definitely a leader/tyrant/patron. indurain was a beast and everyone liked him, but NOT a patron.
- What about Almeida? I know he barely competed this year. His time trial was the best of the rest. For a guy who lack a little on technique showed a lot of power. I'll count on him.

- I'm glad no one got hurt. That was wild.
- What's the name they used to call Hinault when he controlled the peloton? The patron? I don't think this is the same thing. Watching that was just crazy.
- Did you?
Try to be logical.
Cycling fans are unlikely to (have) watch(ed) but then they were not the intended audience because they were ALREADY captive.
Anyone else had little idea what to expect and was already watching by the time it was too late to realise they might have preferred not to, although, knowing what is popular these days, I doubt many actually reflect or care but just end up continuing to watch.
I expect that 10000 will start rising now as anything or discussed tends to do.
I can also assure you from observing roadside crowds on climbs that there are huge numbers of spectators who are not actually cycling fans, they just wanna part of it when the circus comes to town. In fact, even in France, the majority along the way are more interested in the caravan than the race and may know 15 riders at best, mostly French.
- Tomorrow is clearly a stage to stamp a win to this year's race. Pogi can realistically get a strong foundation lead and it very well could carry all the way to the end. Look what happened at the Tour when he hammered the race early and then almost got to coast to the win.
Keep in mind that the riders in this race aren't the caliber of the TDF so...he could have an even better lead.
