I like bike racing with out a crowd, especially the mountain stages where the riders haven't got to thread their way though an alley of spectators single file. Watching them on tv have the spacer to move around across the road and attack in a much more fluid ways is a good thing to see. It just feels so much more natural. I know professional sport ultimately exists because people want to watch and pay for it but no or few crowds actually feel more enjoyable to me.
No drunken sunburnt blokes running uphill after bikes in their all so funny Mankinis, desperate to be on tv is for me one of the few real bonuses of this plague for me.
