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?

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

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

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..

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

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.
