I was pretty disappointed as well. By the time I woke up on Sunday morning (5 am MST) it was already over anyway It should have been covered and included in the nbcsports package for the TDF.

If you have not gotten a chance to watch the movie "Half the Road" about the disparity in men's and women's cycling - it is now available on iTunes. I attended the premiere here in Tucson with the film maker and a few of the women who are featured in the movie. Within 5 days of the first showing, they announced La Course. It is just a first step however.
