Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

We just discovered we had Universal a few weeks ago, by accident. Comcast added it, without any fanfare.
Watching the ttt today was awesome, especially after having been in Sevilla in May. I can imagine the party that went on after it was over, given what I saw after the local team won a semi-final soccer match. Also, the local Andalucia team that went last in the race today is the team our tour leader/owner rides with.
It's nice to be able to watch this on TV, although I miss having it in HD.2015 Trek Silque SSL

I loved that it started with a team time trial.

I think the announcer boys didn't get quite enough sleep last night.

I just watched the end of stage 4. What a steep hill!!
It's interesting to see a grand tour that isn't all about the sprinters in the first week.

I've enjoyed watching some of it so far, but the production quality seems amateur-ish. The announcers are sitting in a booth, not even at the race? That's what it seems like. They are fine announcers, but I also miss Phil, Paul, and Bobke. And the picture quality of the actual race is pretty poor.
It is fun to see different riders, though.2015 Trek Silque SSL
