The first KOM points sprint was interesting!

I find Peacock insufferable for their TdF coverage. I'm using the FloBikes app with a VPN set to Canada. No commercials plus I enjoy their announcing duo of Anthony McCrossan and Nicolas Roche. It's definitely an investment to pay for FloBikes, but I watch plenty of their cycling coverage throughout the season.

Haven’t had any interest since the Lance Armstrong era. I believed him. Until I didn’t.

That was something alright.

And taking a summer break.
I am only managing to see the half hour extended highlights - not going to pay for Peacock. Almost like watching in the 80s when you only saw 15 minutes on ABC's Wide World of Sports.
Hopefully, the number of crashes will lessen as the first week ends.

Today was fun. There's a new leader in yellow. I have watched every stage except Stage 8. I have Peacock, free subscription, some adds, not too many.
Frankly, with most of the stages, you can, pretty much, watch the last five minutes (or even less) and see the "race". I've watched most of the stages so far, but I frequently skip ahead (I mean, the stages can last 4 to 5 hours) to get to the end. I also admit that, for me, about 75% of watching is the scenery - France is a beautiful country; I also like the coverage on Peacock and enjoy Phil, Bob Roll, Christian and the former ski racer whose name escapes me right now. My take on this year's race is that ain't no one going to beat Tadej. He's a bike-riding beast.
More than intrigue. Almost a total disaster for Tadej. Luckily, he didn't lose any time in the GC competition (and I like how his competitors waited for him to return to the Peloton).

The discussion of it was ridiculous. TJ in the studio looked the fool saying that Visma should have dropped the hammer.
I seem to recall the same thing happening between Lance and Jan Ulrich (can’t remember which one crashed) and they waited that time as well.
Plus, Tadej got the bike up relatively quickly and then was in a large group with several teammates. He wasn’t going to lose much time. Now, if his head hit the curb which was just inches away, then he’s probably out of the race.
