    I have to say I am in awe of many cyclists, who do an effort to learn additional languages. Can you imagine that in basketball or football? Peter Sagan's English is improving so much and he is fluent in Italian. The celebrations are suggested by his team mates. He obliges and I find that kind of cute.

    I am enjoying Sagan more and more!

    +1. He showed up to today's stage with his bell, again! See here.

    Also, to the theory of same tactics across teams, a quote from Voeckler:

    the main thing responsible is this…” Voeckler said, pointing to the radio earpiece dangling out of the collar of his jersey.

    “You’ve got the directeurs sportifs from 22 teams saying ‘you have to be up there, you have to be up there,’” Voeckler continued. “Well, if you have 198 riders like that on a road that’s only seven metres wide, then there’s not going to be room for anyone else. Voil*.” (Cycling News)

    Now that's ironic. When they raced a stage (I think last year) with no radios, everyone was freaking out about it being too dangerous without them.

    No kidding.
    I think there should be 1 or 2 designated radio wearers for each team. Like the prime domestique with proven bike handling skill.

    Did NBC stop showing the early live broadcast?
    Was it because of the broadcast of Cavendish saying "Oh please! @#$% off!" live on the air?

    The early morning broadcast was on regular NBC, not NBC Sports (the former Versus). Here's the link ny_biker posted a few months ago: http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/424535...ports-cycling/

    I'm enjoying catching up on the tour through video and pictures. I can't wait to see how it all shakes out in the end.

    I'm biding time until the Olympics start. Now, there's my true sports passion and there are SO many years between them. Ugh.
