HOW TO MAKE SPRINT STAGES A BIGGER DRAW THAN CLIMBING STAGES
FOR MANY, climbing stages are a bigger draw than sprint stages. That goes for in person or on screens. It could be argued sprinters are bigger stars, more flamboyant...
... and there's all the danger of an extremely high speed finish.
So why are climbing stages the bigger draw?
It's pretty simple...
... the drama is in the details.
Here's what I mean.
On a stage with a massive finishing climb, sometimes two in a row...
... we can see what's happening.
The attacks,
counter attacks.
The attrition,
riders constantly dropping off.
The pain and agony, grimacing,
as riders battle each other and the mountain.
It's all there, on display.
How amazing would it be if we could watch a replay of all the chaos created and overcome in the final kilometers...
... in slow motion!
With up close and personal shots...
- bikes
- drones
- helmets
... the kind we could bounce from POV to POV.
Ok, giving us control of the cameras might be a stretch, but a slow motion highlight reel of the fastest finishers, from those points of view, would be amazing.
I'd even settle for the talking heads who know what they're talking about helping us see and understand...
... all the daredevilness, isane power, and complete commitment required to win.
Give us those details,
give us the amazing drama.
