Tour de France on TV, & surprises

The service I use to search for upcoming cycling events stopped listing Tour programming with the word "cycling." Today I looked for tour and it sho Wed up. Then I looked for France and there are 4 different TDF programs being aired on NBC Sports: The Tour, 100 Years of the TDF, TDF Preview, and TDF Classics.

In the couple of minutes I looked in listings from NBCSp, no content more than 48 hours away was displayed.

No Prologue, eh?

"Why isn't there a prologue? Quite simply because we wanted to take the fullest advantage of Corsica, the only region of France that has never previously welcomed the Tour de France.

100 years

Saw the 100 years show this week. Vintage stuff is interesting - forgot how skinny those bikes were compared to today's chunky plastic & chubby wheels. Was pretty frank about the history of PEDs, back as far as the '40s.

I like the size of those tubular spares they all wear around their necks like oxen yokes. ;) The tire look like 40+mm. Now there is a tubular you could repair without micro surgery skills. ;O

The preview show was pretty good. Off to sunny Provence for two weeks on Friday. Will see TTT in Nice, stages 5 from Cagnes-Sur-Mer to Marseille (passes 2km from our villa) and stage 6 in Aix-en-Provence.
