    they changed up the course this year such that it favors a versatile rider vs a pure climber. cancelleda has been ripping up the classics this spring and the guy can sprint. I agree, vandevelde was foolish to take the maillot jaune so early. He put stress on himself and his team too early. He will lose it before possibly getting it back.

    Has anyone found the tour live online?

    My work has a subscription to Sling Box, which allows us to watch direct tv online. Which I was hoping to be perfect, but no. For some reason we dont get that network. ARG.
    If that did work, I would probably come to work at 530a just so I could watch TDF. But now I have to wait for the 5-7p showing at home. But I wanna watch it unfold live. :P

    Cancellara was 100th last year, 3h15m behind the yellow jersey. This year has a couple less high mountain stages but not enough to make Cancellara a contender. He might loose close to an hour on just stage 17 which has three HC climbs.

    VS shows it pretty much non stop all day. The one at 5PM is the best coverage

    I watched today live. Mostly because the last 2 days have been impossible to sleep due to the road rash. Usually I only watch the real important, or stages where there should be a good sprint

    You guys should get Comcast DVR. I have an auto series recording so I can watch it with an evening IPA.

    This is the only time of year I wish I had cable and a DVR :)

    I'm surprised I can't pay someone $20 and get streaming access to the tour.

    I heard Armstrong's a dick.

    Troof. I've met him. He and Gandi were pricks. (100 e-cool points to whoever gets that reference)

    hes's not a dick, ive met him a multiple times, he was actually really nice, and talked to us for a couple of minutes

    armstrong is nice to fans but a dick to anyone he works with, my dad was his head media rep for a while and said he was a huge asshole
