Watching the 2013 TdF

[Bike Writer]

Here is the TV schedule for the US for Tour de France coverage.

Though the channel guide for my cable system is not showing any bike racing after Sunday... I love how Comcast has no idea what NBC Sports is showing even though they're owned by the same company. The channel guide also does not seem to know that the British Grand Prix will be on CNBC this Sunday morning, even though that scheduling decision was announced a long time ago. But I digress...

I was feeling pretty lukewarm about the Tour this year, but since Cannondale announced their lineup I'm looking forward to seeing Ted King setting the pace for Sagan. I don't know yet who I want to win the overall. Maybe Froome, though it would definitely be nice to see Tejay van Garderen on the podium.

Tonight NBCS is showing a 100th anniversary Tour d France special! It is 2 1/2 hours long. Got my DVR all set up. Enjoy!

Thanks for posting both of these. I recorded the 100 year history program and watched it. It was interesting to watch the evolution of the ride. I've never followed it before, this is going to be fun.

According to my TV on my dish the British Grand Prix is being shown in NBC Sports at around 11am or so. However it does not appear they are showing the GP2 race at all.

Apple Tree have a good time! I'll probably catch one of the million replays they show each day.

Have a wonderful time tulip!! Steal a water bottle or like when I was a teen, during a couple of tours I would be at the end of a zone de ravitaillement to pick up discarded water bottles and musette bags.

I like watching the tour but would rather watch a French Women’s major stage race like the Tour Cycliste Féminin/Tour de l’Aude Cycliste Feminin again!!!

A thunderstorm just knocked out electricity in my neighborhood (exactly 52 weeks after the Giant Derecho Outage). Fortunately this outage is not nearly as widespread as last year's, and we still have that little firehouse in our neighborhood which makes us a priority for restoring power. Still, news reports say that damage to power poles nearby is extensive and fixing it will be "labor intensive."

All of which means I might not be recording/watching the TdF or Formula 1 qualifying tomorrow after all...

What a mess at the finish line today! I bet they make sure all of the banners are high enough for a bus from now on! And all of the top sprinters crashing

Found a great site to watch live on Eurosports. Got to see the exciting parts today. Not sure what the protocol is for spoilers here. Don't want to say much for those that will be getting later feeds on cable.
