I cannot say that i am a fan of the tour de france, or any other racing but because a brit was up there i started paying attention to who had won each day and really got behind what was going on.
I actually watched quite a bit of the race yesterday, probably wont watch many of the races in future but got behind team gb.
Dont know why but i have always liked Tour de France,could be the spills( who said that)I didnt watch all of it this year, mainly because I couldnt find it on the Box.And possibley because I keep falling asleep!
Why should we get excited? I can't see why it matters to anyone apart from Wiggins & Co, why do we have to bask in someone else's glory? OK so he's good at what he does, but why should I care?
