It's equivalent but has fewer BIG NUMBERS

To be fair it depend on the coverage and number of hours available on tv which vary greatly by country, 622 hours in Belgium, 431 hours in France, 363 in UK per year on national channel (non eurosport), in the US, it's probably less than 100hours so it may paint a grimmer picture than the situation really is. Not to mention the time zone problems + graph is World tour (so no ToC) etc.
I think the record for audience in the US for tour de France is 300k (watching live) during Armstrong's era, Germany went for 3.5millions (Ulrich era) to 1.2millions last year on average per stage.

Graph is cumulative, if you watch every single hour of pro cycling in your country and there are 100 hours, you count for 100 peoples but yeah it's not super accurate, still give an idea of popularity.

One thing that is often underestimated is that the majority of people watching GT are not bike enthusiasts, the primary reason for watching the tour is scenery (61% scenery, 44% for mountain stage, 32% only for the competition for international audience, it's 23,16,12% for France). Even for those along the road one of the main motivation is the caravan. ( Inrng : Vive L’Indifférence )

Elmiger, Huzarski, Pichot, Delaplace, Edet et Busche with a 3'25" lead, best ranked at GC is Elmiger at 9'25" from Nibali.



According to le tour medical report, Delaplace is on anti inflammatoire, i e Corticosteroid

Cannondale on the front of the peloton but the rest doesn't seem interest to chase. Could be the first breakaway win of the tour.

It's almost certainly something like ibuprofen which is a non-steroidal anti inflammatory drug rather then a corticosteroid

It was for a Knee injury so I assumed wrongly it was something stronger, still surprised to see him in the break today.

What's the expected outcome between Contador, Nibali and Porte for time trial, hypothetically if all are giving 100%?

Chris Horner : Between 30sec to 2min advantage in the TT for contador over Nibali

For Porte : http://www.procyclingstats.com/rider.php?=&id=140611

17 at World Championships 2013- ITT
4 at Stage 11 TDF 2013 (ITT): Avranches › Mont-Saint-Michel
5 Stage 19 TDF 2012 (ITT): Bonneval › Chartres

Porte could beat contador in a TT but they are pretty close.

Tony Martin (OP-QS) et Alessandro De Marchi (Cannondale) with 20 sec lead over the peloton.

The peloton isn't supposed to control this stage but if they manage to keep a small break like then things could be different and some attacks from GC riders are possible, someone like Talansky who need to regain time lost yesterday for example.

Still B.A.E posted:

e; anyone other than Voeckler really, I can't stand the sight of him gurning away.

The group with Gallopin currently have +3'50" over the peloton, he is the virtual new yellow jersey, with 28 riders in that group, it's not certain Astana can get the time back in the final.

Mr.Nice
Apr 28, 2006
There was talk about transferring the jersey to Fuglsang so Nibali could avoid the daily press conference etc but Astana probably won't mind giving the jersey to Gallopin. Tony need to manage the cat.1 climb well and stick with the best of his group for the flat.
