First memory I can pinpoint is probably 2004, hearing about Lance going for his 6th win. For some reason it really bugged me. I think I thought that no one else had gone for 6 out of some sort of respect for the race, and then some American was of course going to do it.
However, I'd "watched" it before, but more akin to how one watches golf - sometimes it's just on. I had no clue what was going on, though. Still had little sense in 2004. In fact, still have little sense today.
Real memories start much more recently - as a grad student who was awarded the free time to sit on my ass for three weeks "working" with the Tour on. So probably 2007.
