Running along beside Lance Armstrong is a bit easier than John McGuinness!
Much of the outlandish behaviour on the high mountains of the Tour de France
is due to the direct live TV coverage.
The loonies compete with each other to appear on international TV.
No doubt they hope to see themselves on replay.
Considering there were 500,000 on one mountain this year there were remarkably
few incidents.
If and when the TT is ever televised live I am fairly sure you would see a few
more flags and advertising signs in evidence.
I wonder if there would be more or less people on the Island if it were on TV?
