Most of the Tour stages would be, because I'm normally working, unless I'm actually there, in which case, none, well, I'd have ridden to see the stage and probably been drinking afterwards so 50/50. PR and Ronde I'm usually on the Belgian ales, all the other races I'm usually watching while working again so most are viewed sober. I just enjoy the racing really, and don't really value the information like results etc. All of that shit can be looked up and just isn't important. It's like my own racing - I can barely remember my results - I only care when I'm looking to improve one and then I'll note what a previous best is or whatever. Maybe one of the reasons I'm still racing - I don't care so much about the results - rather the racing itself if that makes sense.
I'm still amazed if Andy is typing all that shit without resorting to Google though. Even if I knew some of the results of an event I'd struggle to remember everyone's names and where the stages were.
