We do it because we're all a little odd. They get paid.
Totally this. I'd love to have their job (or their ability to do their job). I want to see them at the limits of human endurance/determination and what the best riders can do given their training and support. I don't see them queuing up to support me when I'm having a tough day at work and this is their payday so if the winner of each stage hasn't had to wring it all out then I think the watching fans have been cheated.
