Can't believe the comments on this thread.
Cycling exists as it does (present controversy about drugs aside from this comment) as a result of more than a century of evolution. And at the heart of "team" racing and grand tours is the notion that there is an enormous dynamic between teams, favourites, specialists, generalists, climbers, descenders, sprinters, roleurs, directors, soigneurs, mechanics, equipment, sponsors, rivalries, alliances....
A "star" does not win a Tour without their team, though many have done so with little team assistance (remember Roche?) by their strength and their strategy. But to say there should be no individual winner (ala many other team sports) is nonsense. In other team games do the rest of the team fall by the wayside leaving the "stars" to complete the game? This happens in cycling when the race enters the mountains and the cream rises to the top. Similarly, in an individual time trial, the best/strongest races alone.
And don't most of those other sports have an MVP? Or a "best on ground" or similar?
Try to think of a grand tour as more like a movie with lots of actors, technicians, a director (or in the case of cycling, usually 20 or so) with leads, support, cameos etc. Only one actor wins the Oscar don't they? And they always thank their team (and usually their parents, agent, sponsors and God).
And personally, I'm glad cycling is different to most other sports that involve teams of barely thinking automatons following play by play instructions from their coaches and can't pace, respond, recalculate for themselves (yes, I think the introduction of race radios to cycling is a disaster).
At the end of any discussion like this comes the simple option. If you don't like an aspect of cycling - watch another. Watch something like mountain biking where riders essentially do time trials. If that's going to "float your boat" for excitement and interest, more power to you.
If not, read some history of cycling, learn of the rivalries and the strategy and the planning and the management of skills and strengths and resources. If you still don't like it, that's cool. Watch tennis, or swimming, or chess.
