One year sans Tour de France

As Egan Bernal won the Tour yesterday on the Champs Elysee, this will have been the first time in many years that we haven’t watched one single day of that epic event that galvanizes people all over the world.
While we watched some of the women world cup soccer games, the Tour de France failed to glue us to our TV screen, even for replays.

We heard about each stage on the radio morning news, but that was it. Put this perhaps on the fact that the sport has been blemished by doping or also that we are not into watching sports, but that’s the reality and we don’t feel either good or bad about our lack of supportive interest.

Maybe next year?
