Tour de France 2010

Out of curiosity, on a normal leg, how much do you actually see? I would assume the vast majority of the pack comes through in just a 10-15 minutes span or is that just a misconception (gah! I just had to rely on spell check to tell me that misperception is not a word; it should be) caused by TV coverage focusing on frontrunners?

Going to a street race in person always seemed kind of like only be able to watch four seconds of the Indy 500. (Not saying there aren't other reasons to see it in person, just curious about that aspect of getting a sense of an actual race.)
