Tour De France starts tomorrow

[GAJ]

with the first Team Time Trial since 2019 where speeds average 35mph+.

Sadly, Vingegaard is missing his top lieutenant, Van Aert.

I realize only a tiny percentage of BARFers are interested in this, but it is an epic race and the scenery alone is worth some viewing time.

I miss watching it, I can't get it anymore on DTV

I don't do streaming, can't afford it, I try to get by with only 10 gigs a month for my Verizon modem web time.
I can't run all the U Tube stuff either.
I can get local networks over the air broadcasts, repeaters in use here in Az.
So a special showing of a stage, by NBC, scheduled in prime time?

I screwed up once updating my 'puter, 14 gigs for the update, had to spend another $20 per gig to complete, a cool $100.

 

[SFMCjohn]

I watch the Mr Horner and Mr Armstrong podcasts on YouTube after every stage. very informative and entertaining, and might be a worthy substitute for stages we can’t watch for free …? can maybe get the podcasts on something other than YouTube? idk.

I’m hoping for some exciting breakaway stage wins like in the Giro. I’m rooting for Sepp and Matteo too.

The climbing seems off the charts this year. And the race could come down to Stage 20, the second to last day, because it’s so ridiculously hard. Anyone could crack that day, even the leader.
