I am watching it too!
I am a bit bummed because Jani from Team RadioShack is out of the tour. There have been so many wrecks.

Did you see yesterday's crash laden stage? It was horrible. Poor Tom Boonen looked to have broken his collar bone. Thankfully he hadn't and managed to make it to the finish within the allotted time. I was pleased to hear the the commissaires stripped Rojas and Boonen of their intermediate sprint points yesterday for riding into Cav's racing line. At least they showed some consistency after disqualifying Cav the day before from the intermediate sprint for allegedly blocking. I can't wait until we get into the mountains. The Pyrenees and Alpine stages are always great to watch. I wonder if Contador will show his intentions during the climbs. I wonder what's going to happen with Contador. To be honest I don't think he should be riding with an unresolved doping case hanging over his head. What if he wins this Tour and the appeal to the Court of Arbitration for sport upholds the doping allegations in August? I don't think Millar and a number of others who've be caught doping should be allowed to ride in the sports most prestigious race either - or the Vuelta/Giro/Paris-Roubaix et al. |

Cav did it again today and on the stage where he won his first stage win ever...the Missile is a truly awesome sprinter and is young so could be around for some years yet. There's a bit of Mario Cipollini about him - well apart from Super Mario's leopard print shorts
Sadly poor Bradley Wiggins crashed and broke his collar bone today so he's out of the race. He really stood a chance of topping the GC on the Champs Elysee this year. I'm sure he'll be back and even stronger next year. |

Anyway, I can't believe poor Chris Horner. Sorry about Wiggins, I know you were pulling for him! And good for Cavendish! His team is a well oiled machine. I hope things kick in for Andy Schleck when they hit the mountains.

Oooops! I never thought about that I might be posting 'spoilers' for the race. What time do you get to see the stage? I have it on live here and it's 4pm BST (GMT +1...coverage finishes at 4.30). I'll probably watch highlights tonight too as I've actually missed most of the live coverage today. I also emailed the show last night to ask their opinions on Contador riding when it's entirely possible he could be banned in August. I hope they answer on the highlights show. |

It's been an uphill stage today which has stretched the peleton out a bit. The highlights will be good. I look forward to seeing them in a couple of hours. |

I like the team too...they've been doing it for donkey's years. The same team has moved channels several times too over the years. Phil is ace, very knowledgeable, as are they all really. I missed the hightlights tonight because I'm at a friends place but I'll catch the repeat tomorrow afternoon before the live coverage starts. |

Oh dear. Yet more riders leave the Tour injured in crashes. Poor Vinokourov, they're talking about career ending injury. I hope for him that it's not.
There's already been one of the tour motorcyclists in trouble now there's a car driver. I was staring in disbelief as the driver clipped the rider closest to him. I suspect that driver will lose his job. I'm pleased to see that Thor has had to cede the maillot jaune to Voeckler who rode really well, it was a shame that he ended up taking second place for the stage. |

Cadel is my second pick for a top finish since Brad broke his collarbone. Sadly I've missed a handful of stages now that I'm at the Burrow and am rehearsing most of the day everyday. By the time I get back to the Burrow (after rehearsals) I just want to chill out with Madame Cholet and not watch any sort of tv. |

I am not sure who I am actually rooting for right now. I like Cadel and Thor. I am for anyone other than Contador
