Tour De France

Haven’t watched the Tour in a few years and have completely lost account of riders and teams. I will have to make a point of watching this year. Haven’t seen a broadcast since Paul Sherwin passed but if Bob Roll is commentating it should be entertaining.

I watch the international broadcast on Peacock.

No commercials. The announcers are Anthony McCrossan and Nicholas Roche.

I liked Phil and Paul, but these other two are really good.

Favorites this year are Team Visma ( formerly Jumbo Visma ) with Vingegaard, and UAE Emirates with Pogacar.

Looking forward to it.

I will check it out, thanks.
 


Incredible first stage yesterday. No spoilers since some will watch on replay. Looks like the US has some good young riders and I look forward to see them grow in the sport especially Matteo Jorgensen who seems to have a very bright future.

Replying cynically...does that mean he has superior drugs or drugs that are not easily detected? Cycling is rife with PED.

I think they’ve worked hard to keep it out but there will always be people trying to get an edge on the competition. Can you name a sport that isn’t rife with PED?
 



Great event this year, I can’t wait until next year to see a healthy Vingegaard along with Roglic and Evenepoel try and dethrone Pogacar.
To bad Jorgenson is locked in behind Vingegaard for a few more years as I would love to see him as a gc contender.
 
I was genuinely upset that Peacock didn't carry the international broadcast. Paul, TJ and Brent did well save for the commercials, which is frustrating imo. The international broadcast doesn't ( or didn't last year ) have any.

Pogacar is a beast. Incredible.

I felt that Vingegaard shouldn't have even been in the Tour this year, albeit finishing second. I believe his injuries from mid April had to have more effect than was broadcast. That and his team being decimated with Kuss not there and Wout not being Wout.

All that said Pogacar is a formidable beast.

Whoa.

Exactly.

Well said. Love seeing two Americans on Jonas's team. Both more than able to be a leader on another team.

It will be a monster Tour next year.

Cannot wait!
 


Hope Roglic can get rid of his Tour bad luck.

If he can, that guy can nickel and dime the intermediates to death.

Will be a blast next year to watch. Got the wife into it this year also which was fun.
