    As some others have posted here, I too am rooting for Columbia(High Road) and Garmin Chipotle(Slippies). And, yes, as you can probably tell, I'm an American.

    Elk, I don't have cable either this year, but I've found there are a lot of options for watching races live online. Durring the Giro I discovered a website that has all sorts of online coverage... live audio and video feeds, tickers, etc. for whatever the current race is. Through them I didn't miss a stage durring the Giro, and I'm watching one of their streams right now of the Tour Stage 2. Anyway, here is their link...

    I hope that helps and you can watch now too.

    Thor is awesome!

    I'm rooting for a French win this year. I love the sport and I love the country, so I watch this year as I have since 1986. I'm so glad there are three days in Brittany, as it's my favorite part of France, and little known to folks in the U.S. (hint--go there and ride!). I was just there in May (again) with my bike and it's some of the best riding I've ever done.

    Valverde has a good shot at the whole shebang, but he is moving out awfully early. But he has an amazing team so I wouldn't be surprised if he pulled it out at the end.

    Thor SMASH!

    I <3 the Tour, though I'm disappointed my fave (Boonen) did something idiotic and got himself barred from the race.

    I'm mad at Boonen.

    The last 5K or so of today's stage was SO exciting. I was on the edge of my seat.

    Between Thor's SMASH and Moreau in a break, Schmalz will have a field day with today's stage

    well..I better get on the stick!!! (maybe if I quit obsessing about my h'bars, I'd pay attention to something else...)

    thanks, Hot Flash, for the link!

    We are watching thanks to the magic of DVR. I am rooting for any underdog or anyone wearing Argyle! I would love to see someone off the radar win and since they are off the radar I don't know who that would be.

    Sorry Aussies, I don't like Cadel he just seems so arrogant. Of course it could be editing but they always have him talking about his rivals weaknesses instead of strengths. I did like when he had the side glancing mugshot last year.
