I think @Peter_Carter was making a point about the ever increasing speed of life in general and people's need to want to track, record, measure and display their efforts, particularly in recreational sports / hobbies. The rise of Strava etc. I can see where he's going, without wanting to put words into his mouth. More of a general point than a criticism of TCR perhaps.
Anyone is free to tour the route (checkpoints) any time they like. Walk around countless cathedrals. Take lots of photos for facebook. Eat nice food. TCR is a race. Racers race in a race. I'm genuinely not sure what point you were making. Racing is bad and we should all slow down?
