I hope we don't have to put up with three weeks of these tremendously stupid Tommie Copper ads.

TraderStav posted:First TDF follower this year. Someone mind explaining the yellow/green jersey thing? Just watched the first hour on replay and enjoying it so far. Man, is the English countryside beautiful. I need to jump the pond and take a week riding through it. The Tour has lots of sub-competitions, and the leader in each wears a distinctive jersey. The overall leader (ie, quickest time through all the stages so far) wears yellow. That will be Kittel tomorrow, since he came first today. The best sprinter gets a green jersey - there are set places to sprint throughout the course, and there's points for first, second and so on in those sprints. Similarly with King of the Mountains competition, there are points available at the tops of climbs for the first few riders, and the rider with the most points gets a polka-dot jersey. There's also best young rider, who gets a white jersey, and the team leading the team competition wear yellow numbers.

serious gaylord posted:Seems he put a nice dig in at the top of Jenkins Road and Contador couldnt follow him. Its going to be a good contest between those two. That was my takeaway from it, too. I'm pretty firmly in the ABF camp, but I don't know how big a factor Contador is going to be.

Russian Bear posted:Do you have to pay for nbc tour tracker? Yeah, 14 bucks. Well worth it, though, it's ad-free, and the quality is pretty good. You do have to put up with Phil and friends, but it's an app, not magic, unfortunately.

Froome reportedly down again. e: or maybe not? Excellent commentating there.

Froome down again! Really! He looks hosed.

So is there a vuelta app similar to the tour one? Because I'd pay another $15 or whatever for that, especially with the all-star field this year.

serious gaylord posted:Is that Froome that Nibali hits? I think it is, he certainly looks gawky enough. And I saw a bit more of that video; the Sky rider does stay on, but it's a pretty close thing.

Really, if it upsets Phil Liggett it is probably the right thing to do.

The fan was trying to give him a shove up the hill and hosed it up? That's the charitable explanation, but dumb any way you look at it

Clearly needs to work on his remounts, but good on him for going for a laugh after that last 100m.

I dunno, I paid some money and get to watch the ad free stream and listen to enthusiastic Australians who ( unlike Phil ligget) are generally able to identify the riders and their teams. It’s quite good. It’s been lance-free thus far.
