Am I the only person to notice that this years Tour seems to lack any spirit or drama? Don't get me wrong, I love seeing Lance moving up in the GC and his opponents dropping off (and out), but short of the Indurain days of the Snore de France this seems quite sleepy. Certainly last years tour was a little over the top, but when there is more excitement in the flat stages than the mountains we have a problem. I suppose it's due to the superbe conditioning of the Blue Train, but I wouldn't mind some more action. Perhaps Ullrich and Kloden could get into an all-out brawling fistfight for the team leaders position. Maybe the Phonak team could gather for a mountaintop ressurection ceremony for Tugboat. Or team AGR2 could ride commando style.
Whatever it is, we neeeeeeed some action!!!
