Is it a spectator sport? Really?

I mean, telly, yes, but standing there at roadside? Re-he-heally? Can't see that.

By the way: the camera angle for the sprint finishes is crap. Why do they do it head-on? One time they showed it from overhead, which was brilliant 'cos it really showed how Cavendish accelerates. Head on it just looks a bit grunty.
