TDF: a shiny new thread for 2012

It cracks me up how much Wiggins looks like a guy you'd expect to find at a pub or in a British Invasion band in in about 1968.

Very mod!

You know what ticks me off about the NBC Sports coverage -- apart from the commercial breaks every five minutes or so?

It's their fixation on the crashes. Every crash must be replayed umpteen times, from every available angle, in slow-mo, closeup, and of course the aftermath and the injuries MUST be documented in all their gory detail. Many times.

I'm watching the tour recap show, and not only is NBC Sports spending a majority of the broadcast on the crashes, they see fit to remind us, lest we forget, of the crashes from last year.

Yeah, I suppose the network wants to make the coverage more interesting to the average american Joe Six-Pack sports fan, and blood & guts sells. Plus they wanna get the message across to viewers that these skinny guys in lycra ain't girly-men. Yeesh.

Or a British Elvis Presley with the pork chop side burns.
