    Is anyone watching this year's race?

    I forgot to set the dvr for today's stage, but I caught the last half hour of the rerun. Very impressive ride by Taylor Phinney.

    I like Christian Vandevelde's commentary during the race. I hope they'll use him for other races, too.

    I didn't watch the whole race either, but was so excited to see Taylor get the stage win. Loved his bow at the end. He's a character!

    Oh, that was embarrassing! I'm referring to the guy who thought he won when there was still a lap to go. No race radios!

    Yes that was hard to watch. The nice thing about recording the race is that you can fast forward past the instant replay of things like that.

    It was nice seeing Ben King in the break and on the podium wearing the most courageous jersey.

    It was interesting during the last few stages to see aerial views of some of the routes I've ridden on.

    Peter Sagan's my favorite, so I was happy to see him win his 11th stage win. I also love the promotional ad he did for the Tour.

    Lawson Craddock is from our club, so it's always exciting to see him do well.
