I so agree with the TTs being boring to watch (maybe the last 5 riders can be watched, but over 50km or more... that's boring, too). The TTTs are fun.

A resounding yes to NBCs coverage being terrible. The last stage, in particular, I made the mistake of tuning to the noon coverage in the regular NBC channel. It was complete nonsense, a 2 hour "teaser" for people that do not follow the tour. And they did not show the sprint or podium! What...?
