I mean the OG tours were literally just attrition right? Barely had any aspects of what we would recognise as a race. Ultra endurance still exists, if you're into that, but obviously doesn't get as much press and also no TV coverage because it's dull.

Each to their own. If I wanted to just see people riding ragged I would put a mirror on my handlebars.
