A race worth watching.
A soap opera waiting to unfold.

Mythical climbs :rolleyes:
Not exactly a synonym for legendary or epic.

"Dave Zabriske is a vegan. He doesn't eat meat at all, or anything else for that matter."
Exciting finish today.
Glad to say that DH's solution to watching the Tour without cable has worked.
Now that's strict.Quote:

I am very curious. Is it the NBC app? Does it have a video archive, so you can watch the stage whenever you have time?Quote:

I used the mobile app (NBC TDF All Access) last year and it worked great. you could watch live or on demand. It gives you a menu of all the completed stages to date, and you can choose whichever one you want to watch, whenever you want.
This year I bought the online package so I could watch on my bigger Mac screen and that's working well too. But to be honest, I forgot that could stream from my iPad to Apple TV and see it on an actual TV screen - I should've stuck with the app, it's much cheaper!
What happened to Phil and Paul and the predictions in the pre-race show this year? Bah humbug NBC! :mad:
Those predictions were my favorite part...watching the recap show now so perhaps they still have them in the early morning, but I doubt it. We're two hours behind EDT in Belize so I will have to watch in the evenings.
My DVR is working overtime. :cool:Quote:

Do any of you know of a good guide explaining how the whole race works? I admit that I don't understand any of it but would love to be able to follow along more knowledgably.
