Here's the deal - if Lance attacks everyone says that it's a yawner because he's too good. If he
sits in the pack and wins his specialties such as the TT, then everyone says it's a yawner because
he didn't show any superiority. If he attacks and kills everyone else like at Sestrierre, everyone
says it's a yawner because he never attacks.
I suppose if the Tour is so damned boring people wouldn't need to watch it, discuss all the little
details about what's happening from the color of Lance's jersey ("He gets better stuff than the
other members of his team"😉 to complaining that Simoni can't stand behind his analysis of being
better than Lance in the climbs after winning the Giro.
