But seeing as that wasn't an option I went with the World Cup (football version).

Yeah, I guess it was the history and the awe of the Masters - like Wimbledon, isn't the Masters sort of the ultimate major? Like you could win the PGA, good on you, but if you win the Masters.... That seems kind of like a fairytale type thing.
Wellard, that's one reason I think the Tour is the greatest - such a huge opportunity for fans to be involved. You can follow the riders around every stage, don't have to pay anything (except maybe in Paris?), people run next to the riders on the road; it's just hugely accessible.
