Unless you are obsessed with minutia, it is the way to go. There was a post about commercials recently on OLN…Commercials??? I dont know what they are anymore. Here is how I watch the tour.
-
Listen to Bob Roll and his buddies make their predictions, hit fast forward button till I see that cute chick jumping around in waterfalls or maybe Chris Carmichael rambling on about something I might find interesting.
-
Figure out who the lead pack is and where is Lance in relationship to them. Fast forward looking for weird stuff to happen like crashes…
-
If its a mountain stage I actually take time to watch it.
-
If not I zipp to the end and see the last sprint finish…then look for Lance.
-
Watch the tall girls kiss the small rider and see Lance pick up his Teddy Bear and pretend to have a conversation with the same guy as the day before ( obviously he is an important dude but I dont know his name as I dont follow cycling) as he walks off the podium.
Time spent 20-45 minutes.
Did I say I love Tivo???
