hippy-
, I pay more attention if I've got mates racing.
This. I'm interested in what people I know are doing, not so much otherwise. After doing a couple of these things you get to know a few riders, which makes it interesting.
I don't usually follow it that closely but I do recommend being an official dot watcher once. Then you follow a couple of riders very closely every day and really get inside their heads. If you are lucky and get a top rider you get a real insight into how the race is going, and you can learn some things you can apply to your own racing.

What’s the fascination with dot watching/trying to follow this online? I’m genuinely trying to get into it post TDF.
