Thread: Tour de France

Anybody watching the Tour de France?

every day! Tomorrow's stage will should be fantastic. Setting the alarm for 5:15 to watch the live coverage on VS. Any predictions?

I watch everyday too. I prefer the "live" broadcast.

I'd like to see big George Hincapie win stage 3!!

I've been to the Paris-Roubaix Classic and have seen the pros ride the cobbles in the Arenberg Forest. It really takes some skills to ride the cobbles. There will be some big time lost by the guys who haven' riden them.

It should be exciting!!! Go George!!!

been following it for the last ten years.

I've been following the Tour since 1984 or so. Back in the day when CBS had a weekend show on the Tour. The daily Versus broadcasts have been great!!!

Wow! Great racing today but bad luck for Armstrong. Hopefully he can gain back the time lost today in the Alps.

I follow the series in 'non-realtime'. But enjoy all the stories; since the days when Greg LeMond was the first American to capture the yellow. I was an avid cyclist in the 70's and was in awe of Eddy Mercx (5 time winner).

Read the cobblestone stretch and it sounds brutal! Legs can handle it but the arms /shoulders take the bulk of the punishment. Lance better be on his game in the mountians!

I started riding in the early 80's and raced locally from 85 to 1991. I admired the legends of cycling and learned a lot about them from some older Scotish guys (former racers in Europe) I rode with once in awhile.

I was off the bike for 14 years and got back on in 2005. Did a few races since but don't have the time to train to be as competitive as I would like. Too much work, wife, etc...

I love cycling and the sport!

Lance will pull off some magic I hope!!!!

i fail because all i do is read about it, since direct tv no longer carries VS channel

yea yea i know...go Lance!

I like Cycling News for online results and stories after watching on TV.

They even have a live on line report you can follow as the race happens.
