Today's news....
"The defending champion is back on top", Phill Ligget.
Stage 8 just finished, with Chris Froome snagging the yellow jersey!
Sorry, I am so late to post this year. I was away for a bit and haven't been watching.
Is anyone else pissed as shit that there is no longer a "Primetime Show" each evening seemingly due to their coverage of the Olympic trials? It's bullshit. I have to buy the freaking $29.99 package from NBC Sports gold membership in order to see the stages, unless I want to miss the first half of my workday every day to watch it in the morning. At least that it what it seems to me. Am I missing something? Is there an evening show on another channel? It's the flippin' Tour de France!
Sooo, for those who are watching, who are you for? I'm for Froome, so I am quite pleased.
For those who did see the stage, did you see Froome punch the fan in the yellow bird suit in the face? It was awesome. It is so inappropriate/unsafe to get that close to the riders. No doubt you will be able to google this scene within an hour or so.
