My tour-watching strategy has been working out well. I get home from work around 5:45 to 6 pm and live in the eastern timezone, where OLN repeats the stage coverage from 5-7 pm daily. I judiciously avoid any tour info/coverage/spoilers during the day. When I get home, I change right into my cycling clothes which I've laid out downstairs in the morning, hop on the trainer, and ride along in the virtual peleton as I watch the coverage from 6 to 7 pm (I ride from 30-45 minutes). Missing the first hour, I rarely miss anything, as all the exciting stuff happens in the second hour.

Since I can't ride outside yet, this is working out well. Watching the tour makes those trainer miles go by quite a bit easier. After all, I know I'm not the only one suffering, and at least I can't CRASH! I speed up for the sprints too!
