I love listening to Phil Liggett. I hope he never retires.

I was only able to watch out of the corner of my eye. Pogacar is the man of the moment.

One of the best things about watching cycling coverage is that it is part travel show and history lesson.

Absolutely and seeing parts of the world I will probably never visit. Like aerial America does.

Check this out from the race report today. I always wondered how much better the pros were from the other guys.

Another great stage today. Pogacar picks up number five. All that is left is a time trial.

It is fun watching the time trial with real time splits.

Three riders still out.

Pogo with his 6th stage win!

What a fantastic time trial to end what I consider to be one of the best tours in recent memory....just stupendous!

You are correct. Great tour! I loved the time trial being at the end. It made it much more interesting. Those guys let it all go even though for the most part their positions in the GC were solid.

I appreciate the thread @Bazza. Maybe one day more members will join the tour thread. We did pick up @stlimprov this year. I figure it is hard to check the tour out on a consistent basis. I have the peacock channel this year so that helped out with me getting to actually watch it.

The first stage has already started. Wake up and the tour is going full speed.

Not a bad start to this year's race.

Good stage today. Got to see some comp between JV and TP there at the end! And what a freaking sprint! Congrats to MVDP.....long time coming and he left it all on the finish line, didn't he?

The top three today may battle it out until the end. It is going to come down to who has the best team. If Pogacar has a bad time trial like he did a couple of weeks ago he will be in trouble at the tour.
