gently caress NBC, I feel like I'm watching more commercials than cycling. It's kind of hard to enjoy.

I dropped the $15 on the app, it's so much better. No commercials at all. Plus a cool dashboard of information!

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Boom what an attack, he wants those points.


Tried to watch cycling legitimately on my phone both via eurosport player (which ive just paid for) and ITV. Neither work so it's just one of several decent illegal streams to chose from.

Machado is back? Didn't catch that. My stream must have been on a break - they said he was in an ambulance...

They're saying the skidmark from Bert's crash is 70 metres long, crazy. Hope he can at least finish the stage, looks like he's still in a bit of trouble.

So apparently race radio is saying contador crashed because his frame snapped? If that loses contador the tour oleg tinkoff is going to buy specialised and burn it to the ground (and good riddance to a lovely company)

Astana not exactly neutralising the race, bet contador regrets attacking on the madeline now
