TdF? or Tour de Asphalt? (Non spoiler - sort of)

Whats up w/the Tour? I have seen less crashes at a smash-em-up derby. Yes. the roads are wet & people are nervous, but I have never seen a Tour like this - ever.

It feels like I am watching NASCAR restrictor-plate racing with all of the huge crashes in the peleton. Perhaps OLN should promote this rather than the Cutters, as most people like watching crashes no matter what the sport - talk about appealing to the average American sports watcher. At this rate of carnage, the TdF can be bigger than the Superbowl!

It works for hockey, football & NASCAR

Worse yet - the race ran long and we are only taping 9:00-11:45 sm (8:00-10:45 CST) - argh!

I’m guessing that it’s due to a lack of a strong “sprinters” team having the ability to dominate the peleton on the flat stages… Chipo’s Red Train and Zab’s Boys were very good at dominating the peleton and keeping things in order, Fasa can’t do it and the others don’t want to do it.
