I find Tour de France utterly boring, to be honest. Won't watch it at all, but good luck to all the enthusiasts and fans!

It is indicative of how much it bores me it when I rather watch football!!
For heaven's sake; first its the world championships football, then it's tennis, and now it's this rubbish. All that's missing is the olympics and to top it off the paralympics and it's a full sports armageddon.
The most irritating and terminally infuriating aspect of it all is that other programming has to accomodate for this tyranny. When tennis can't happen because it rains, other programs just get postponed or even cancelled to provide air time for when it can start again. Where the bloody hell did that become a viable option?! You had your chance, you couldn't deliver now get back in line and wait your next air date god damn it.
And the worst of all is that when this rubbish is over, it does not stop for a while and let other programs have more time, noooooooooo we can't have that, than it's just back to it's continuous less overheated but still disproportionately large claim.
The only little redeeming feature of the Tour de farts is that it doesn´t have these humourless whiny self important over the hill pundits like football and many other sports has, with before the game during the game and, most of all, after the game endless blathering about how it was all done wrong and how those pundits would, of course, have done it sooooooo much better.
Shovel all the sport on one world wide channel, with another channel for the cooking, antiques , make over, and "talent" shows, and leave the TV to the people who can do better things with it.

Anyone following this year's TdF? I know there was some discussion a week ago, when they were in England.
Quite a shocker to see Chris Froome leave the competition early, during that circus of a stage with all the rain and cobblestone roads and falls.
I'm hoping our only Norwegian cyclist this year, Alexander Kristoff, will win at least one stage. It would need to be one with a mass sprint ending as he can't climb. But even with Cavendish out, he still needs to pass Kittel, Sagan, Greipert, Renshaw and all the other superb sprinters.
Nibali has impressed in the overall, although Contador seems to be on the move as they enter the mountain ranges.
