Lance was a high and a low, no doubt. But the last few tours have been absolutely superb. If you haven't been around for a few years you have missed the emergence of some real super stars. Chris Froome, Marc Cavendish, Richie Porte, Roberto Contador Nairo Quintana, to name a few and then there is full tilt rock star:

Never cared much for bike racing & previously never really “got it” (teams supporting one rider, etc.) but something majorly clicked with me & bike racing two years ago & now I’m addicted to the Tour. I get up early every morning to watch the racing & I’m bummed when they’ve got a day off. Really “good stuff” the last two years. Sagan is probably my favorite (he won the World Championship in my home town 2015) - always looking for that green jersey to show up at the end of the stage going for the finish line, but the others you mentioned are stars in their own right. Really looking forward to seeing who emerges this year as the front runner.
