if your watching the race on cycling.tv the commentators anthony and brian read all the remarks sent in to "the innertube," and it appears a lot of people are watching it at work!!
as for subscribing to cycling.tv, you don't have to pay for the 100 kbps feed or to take part in the chat, but once you've seen the riders' faces closeup at 1200 kbps you'll just have to have it!!
and i love the on-demand options, i usually watch each stage again later.
