Meant to post previously...

Excellent route tomorrow (the 4th) for Stage 6...

Starting in Macon, up hill through Prisse and Roche Vineuse...then down backside into Loire watershed...then back onto the Saone side/Givry and Chalonnaise...then through Chassagne, Puligny, and Meursault (including GC vineyards)...then back across Saone and up to Dijon...

Friday, time trial stage from Gevrey, to Morey, Chambolle, up to the Hautes Cotes, then down to NSG...

Will be great footage, you can subscribe to Peacock for $6 for month to view...

American grunts provide intolerable commentary...we are watching UK feed via VPN and Flobikes Canada.

If things go wrong this year, we will just follow suit up here in the PNW and annex to Canada...

Seems to be that way for every non-Americancentric sport. Certainly tennis and soccer, the two that I watch.

Thankfully I mainly watch via European streams.
 
Oh great...we haven't watched yet...just so everyone knows you can also watch recording...

It has been the best Tour on memory, a truly excellent one...every stage. I won't be a spoiler but there has yet to be a stage that wasn't special.

I do like him. One of the better ones. I think Luke Jensen used to do some tennis tv broadcasts that were knowledgable. Chris Fowler is the worst. Turns everything into pointless seemingly-uninformed drama.

Those of us in the Northeast consider this idea as a serious possibility, too.

Not much. Mary Carillo, however, is terrific.

Agree. He does love to talk about himself. But who knew that Ash Barty would be such a great commentator? (Though one might have easily guessed that.)

I am trying to decide if TNT/TBS taking over Roland Garros is as bad or worse than Michel Rolland helping out at Figeac.

I feel like I am going to get a tariff bill in the mail any moment, for watching any match not involving an American player.
