The Tour de France lost all appeal after Armstrong stopped dominating. You say that NASCAR is boring and to a lot of people you are right. But they are going 200 M.P.H compared to like 40 M.P.H.
You say the Tour de France has specialists... So does NASCAR their is Superspeedway specialists, restrictor plate specialists, short track specialists, and road course specialists.
The Alps and Pyrenees have different personalities in the same way that every track has a different personality, you can't drive a short track like Daytona and you can't set your car up for Talledega if Sears Point is up next.
How are the crashes gorier in cycling when a car broadsides another car going 180 m.p.h, slams into a wall, spins while other cars are flashing by it, and it flips three times... Then leaks gas onto the ground right next to an open fire. Go tell all the drivers that have been tackled while being on fire that their sport is less gory than Lance's because he skinned his knee. And don't pull the death card. NASCAR has made it less deadly while the Tour apparently can't figure out guard rails and nets.

At least when I am watching NASCAR I know that they aren't juicing. I tried after Lance quit the first time I really did. And when Landis crossed the line, I was just as happy as every time Lance did. And that magical moment came across the ESPN ticker saying "Floyd Landis has tested positive for an illegal substance."
You wanna talk unpredictability? Cars in NASCAR are almost the exact same with the exception of the sticker on the front. So talent comes out on top. And when two dominant figures are on a team, they drive against each other and it is totally acceptable. Contador and Armstrong shared team last year and Americans thought Contador was being a dilhole because he wouldn't help Armstrong win, while everyone else thought Armstrong was being a dilhole for expecting a world class cyclists to take a backseat.
"My main problem with Nascar is its the same thing over and over again"
So is the tour. It's a bunch of guys in awkwardly tight clothes in a tight pack going up a hill, or down a hill. Yes they don't repeat the same stretch of land 200 times, but it isn't like they are hitting jumps or anything. It's a road that looks the same as the road they just passed.

You keep saying that NASCAR is boring for doing to same thing over and over again. But cycling is no more exciting. At least in NASCAR it isn't 95% of the race spent in a pack with your team. There are sprint finishes in NASCAR too. A guy skipped a pit stop and is running on fumes and crosses the line with no gas left. He was racing a guy that went with 2 tires over 4 and is not at the same speed. The "stunning" surges made by every driver with half a nut in his sack. You use the headbutting thing like it adds and edge to the sport. Guys will put a driver in the wall in the last lap to win a race and no one bats and eye. What would the cycling community do if Contador kicked Lance Armstrong 2 miles from the finish? Would they celebrate his win like they do in NASCAR after Kyle Busch puts another guy out? It doesn't matter what they do to a roider, they will still try to roid. But in NASCAR, I know that every championship J.J. won is his. Plus, NASCAR uniforms look awesome compared to cyclists. NASCAR unis=flame retardant cycling unis=Just flaming.
