yeah

it's tough for the directors, beause however you plan the route, you cant predict how the race will unfold and you cant expect a meaningful attack every day

yesterday was fun though, and as it goes, i think it's been a pretty decent tour

personally though, i'd like to see a tour every now and again with f**k all time trials in it. obviously it's a true test, and you cant hide in your team on a time trial, and it's completely fair, but ultimately i'd like to see races won on breaks and attacks. it's just more dramatic
