Any other options for American streams that you don't have to pay for? I'm on my corporate network so the typical dodgy ones are out of scope.

Unfortunately unable to watch this. Did Froomeyboi fall on the pave? Have they even reached the cobbles yet?

That's tomorrow. Froome fell on regular asphalt.

The cobbles stage is tomorrow, there is a little bit of cobble in the climb they will reach in a few km but nothing serious like tomorrow.

The finish line today, not as large as yesterday, maybe Kittel can loose.

Probably not. Welcome to watching things after the fact in the US!

Unless it is something like the TdF where NBC offers an app, the one-off links can be hit or miss here without much alternative. Lots of times right after a stage, someone will post the last hour or two on YouTube and you can catch it before it gets taken down. Mr.Nice usually has a link or so to such a video in his summaries.

Sure looks like the Astana guy set that off when he stood and let his bike surge back. Poor form. The guy behind him then reacted and took out Froomes front wheel.

edit; maybe the Astana guy was just reacting to the person in front of him moving over.

I think it was just the one dude bumping the rider next to him because he was crowding. Doesn't look like a reaction to anything else.

Thanks, I will try those out. Appreciate the help, not sure I'm willing to throw out $30 (desktop streaming) for this just yet.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

I didn't see the froome crash, how did he go down? Fairly major knock to confidence before tomorrows stage


EDIT: looking through the team lists i can't see anyone who's going to guide froome or contador through the cobbles like sparatacus did for schleck.

Slowdown in front, people shifted out the way and his front wheel got collected.

Man, this NBC stream (free one through Comcast) is insufferable. 3-4 minute commercial breaks, which are just a screen letting you know it'll be right back with cheesy music, after 5 minutes of coverage.

They already give up on the green jersey and intermediate sprints.

I will try to post them from time to time in the summary.

Edit they are trying to create echelons,this could be interesting.

Where are the cobbles tomorrow in terms of stage profile (which kilometers)? I'm checking the tour-website etc. but either the info is not there or I canīt read it :ughh:

Its the only thing they can do now. No chance at the sprint and they have no-one to go after any of the jerseys. Might as well get some TV coverage.

Yep. I have no idea who's supposed to challenge Kittel in a bunch finish. I liked the pull that Tony Martin made in the end, though, and hats off to Voeckler of course for breaking away over almost the entire stage.

I'm wondering if they'll try a few Tony Martin long rangers when the riders are bit more tired. They could string it out then launch Martin off.
