le tourI do not have much to say about le tour
it is beautiful to watch
it looks like the racers are on the right road to being a clean sport
honestly I do not understand road racing and team tactics
as an outsider I feel that there could be one change to improve things
remove the two way communication with the racers
is this cycling or is this a chess match with bicycles
having knowledge of the distance of the breakaway... the pace of the breakaway... the strength of the breakaway
well... that information should be a mystery
not something factored by the managers in the team car
it is annoying to know that the the peleton knows this information
they know the pace of the breakaway
they just need to follow instructions to reel in the racers ahead
okay... not quite that simple
but it is made more simple with the two way communication
instead of the athletes being forced to take a chance and go with their natural impulses
that image is from pez cycling news
and from podium girls gone bad... podium girl jokes... everyone loves a good podium girl joke
