I predict that this year the Tour will be blighted by drug scandals
Oh, statistically, I also predict that someone will die on the Tour this year. I also prddict that one team will either be disqualified or pull out of the Tour.

Ha, I think they’re all a bunch of pussies. I followed the whole ’92 Tour on a mountain bike (loaded down with panniers front and rear) and easily managed to get to the end of each days stage the same day as they did, including the mountain stages (except when they did vehicle transfers). At one point in the Alps the marshalls stopped me cos I was riding with tailenders :- )
Pah, I speeet on ze stage racers, like zis (spits)

As optimistic as i am DH i still have to agree with you on some of your points. For the past, who knows how many years, there have been teams that got pulled out for using drugs. Festina, Astana to name a few so i would not be surprised if this year the same happens. Last years winner is no longer last years winner.
What might make things easier for all is to level off the difficulty of the actual race. We are expecting them to be superheros with limitless tanks of energy when after all they are only human. Before steriods and EPO there was amphetamine and Tom Simpson went down using that for good. He died. But not all of us can be a god like you DH and race accross amerika in a little over a day longer than the record. |

I haven’t been on a bike at all since ’95 (at which point my road log was just over 350 000 kms I seem to recall) and have to be honest, I don’t miss it at all.
Oh, I was only kidding about the stage racers! I must admit that I've never really shown too much interest in stage races like le Tour other than watch the daily roundup on Channel 4, but in '92 a few friends and I decided to follow (literally) the race, and although I made fun of it earlier in the thread, it was bloody hard work!!
