No thread eh ???
Now, I'm not a cycling enthusiast, but I fucking love this event and watch it religiously every year. As a sporting event and a challenge of human spirit and endeavour it is unsurpassed.
The level of courage and stamina that these guys possess is inhuman. These blokes are the earth's supreme beings as far as I'm concerned. 21 days, most 150km+ per day, some in the mountains.
The way each race unfolds and the myriad (and largely incomprehensible) facets of each stage I just find strangely riveting.
Bizarrely I don't even like cycling much.
Anyone else watch it ?
