Le Tour.
Is anyone else on here following the Tour de France?
I'm addicted. (Cycling - more specifically bike racing, is and has been a big part of my whole life,) and for three weeks a year it captivates me.
This year my daughter is working at the race and I've been getting some behind the scenes info every day.
Am I alone?

I think I might be in the HiFi trade.

Re: Le Tour.
Me- big Cav fan so I’m stoked to see him winning again.
It’s like a tour from years ago with Cav, Gripel & Bosen Hagan - excuse the spelling

Re: Le Tour.
Will he do it again today I wonder? Things seem to be going his way today, (small breakaway, dropping wind, technical finish...)

Re: Le Tour.
We watch all 3 tours, spring classics, basically anything on 2 wheels. Agree it's absolutely marvelous to see the Manx Missile back. I also kind of like that the two 'super teams' seem to be rather off the boil in this edition which is no bad thing.
PS no spoilers I will only re visit this thread after the highlights..

Re: Le Tour.
I'm in, I always am and it's brilliant to see Cav back to his best supported by such a great team. Also good to see the old order is no longer dominating the races. If I was given a choice between Cav making history on the final day of the tour or England beating Italy I would choose Cav in a heartbeat

Re: Le Tour.
I used to race, both on the road, where i was OK, later offroad (mediocre). I used to follow the tours, but my media consumption patterns have changed over the years, now i hardly even know when it's on. Still full of awe for those guys.

Re: Le Tour.
Hopefully today TdF history will be made. I will be rooting for Cav to be in the right place at the right time, he deserves his place in cycling history and this would be the greatest sporting comeback in my lifetime. Come on Cav
