I wonder if they could develop disc brakes where you don't have to worry about burns in a pileup situation

Not really. You've got to dump the energy somewhere.

Jurgen Vanden Broeck apparently fell again. I wonder if he and the Tour will ever get along. The stage is looking set for Kittel. edit: Hernandez out. That's got to sting for Contador. Punc fucked around with this message at 15:23 on Jul 10, 2014 |

They need to stop mentioning Mark Renshaw as someone who has a chance to win. Dude is nothing more than a leadout man and will never win anything meaningful

non-TdF question: while there are several tours of US states (Tour of California is the most well-known), there's no Tour of New York (as far as I know). Anybody know why that is?

Takes a ton of money to host a race, pay to put up teams, all the police for road closures etc. Tour of California doesn't make money and has been in danger of being cancelled quite a lot, there's very little TV interest in the sport here too

The comma is a decimal place, so 971.72 million viewers when you add all the individual bits of coverage together. So add together viewing figures from live coverage from every day of the Tour, the Giro, the Vuelta et al and it adds up.
