1. Watching men in spandex sprinting to the finish line.
2. Being shocked when a complete underdog zooms out of nowhere and beats them all!
3. Bikers rounding a corner at 50 mph on a rainy day slip on the road paint, resulting in a pileup of nearly 150 men and bicycles.
4. Watching every rider in the pileup get up and finish the day's stage, only to wake up tomorrow and do the same thing - but this time with 50 stitches in their arms and legs.
5. The ridiculous spectators, wearing nothing but their underwear and waving the French Flag, trying to push their favorite cyclist up a 30 mile, category 1 climb, then getting shooed away by the French police.
6. Calves and thighs of steel.
7. Unpronouncable foreign names - Feillu, Gerolsteiner, Totschnig, Luxembourger, Voigt, to name a few.
8. The countryside is beautiful
9. The cities are beautiful
10. The men are beautiful.
