Tour de France?

[Proulx06]

Anyone besides me watching this shit? I'm stuck at work while the stages are going on...I remember last year there was an online radio feed, but I can't find one this year...I'm stuck refreshing the Newsflashes page on www.letour.fr.

Welp, found some streaming audio at www.eurosport.com, on the left. It's not the funny OLN crew, but it'll work.

I just watched Lance put on the yellow jersey this morning

Just heard a commercial on this internet feed that the Eurosport site broadcasts all the MotoGP events...pretty cool.

I know Pete said he was watching this the other day...you think this breakaway today is gonna stay out, or will the peleton reel them back in? They were up to 8 minutes ahead, now down to about 6:50...

They caught the break-away and in the last KM, there was a huge pile-up which included the last person in the break-away, but because it was in the KM, everyone in that group was given the same time. I am waiting for Sunday, they hit some mountains then. We shall see if Lance does anything to try and spread his time gap.

Yeah, the radio guys on eurosport were flipping out. I wish they had streaming video...

I feel bad for Mengin, the guy who was 900m away from a solo breakaway win, but then again he's French, so f him, heh...

Agreed, it does get interesting in the mountains...

HAH! when i saw the rain before i left for work i told my roommate the Peleton would catch em & i'd bet there would be a wreck at the end i missed most of today's stage though.

Listening to this grueling mountain stages on eurosport, and watching their refreshing news. The latest update:

"The spectators are out in their thousands. Some stupid souls are running alongside the riders, getting in the way and just not thinking straight. Most notably, they are Americans."

Fuckin Euro bitches.

Today's stage must have rocked... followed it on the web.

Of course it seems like if things go like this for a couple days the last week will be a snooze as Armstrong will be far ahead of the other contenders.

Yeah I followed it too...drove me nuts because the audio was about four minutes behind the web updates...it's usually the other way around...so I stopped refreshing so I could listen to the final sprint before reading it.

And I'm OK with a snooze final week...more time to celebrate the greatest athlete of our generation. Good to see the Discovery boys hanging tight late in the final climb, that bodes well for the next two weeks.
