with the first Team Time Trial since 2019 where speeds average 35mph+.

Sadly, Vingegaard is missing his top lieutenant, Van Aert.

I realize only a tiny percentage of BARFers are interested in this, but it is an epic race and the scenery alone is worth some viewing time.

Stream all 21 stages live in the US on the Peacock streaming app. Select stages also broadcast live on the USA Network and NBC, where they can be watched using a digital TV antenna or with live TV streaming services like YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV.
 
gonna bee rooting for the underdog, Mr Vingegaard, and will enjoy watching the dominate performances of Mr Pogačar in the 2026 TdF. always happy to renew my Peacock subscription every July. :laughing 🥳
 
I don't do streaming, can't afford it, I try to get by with only 10 gigs a month for my Verizon modem web time.
I can't run all the U Tube stuff either.
I can get local networks over the air broadcasts, repeaters in use here in Az.
So a special showing of a stage, by NBC, scheduled in prime time?

I screwed up once updating my 'puter, 14 gigs for the update, had to spend another $20 per gig to complete, a cool $100.
 
I watch the Mr Horner and Mr Armstrong podcasts on YouTube after every stage. very informative and entertaining, and might be a worthy substitute for stages we can’t watch for free …? can maybe get the podcasts on something other than YouTube? idk.

I’m hoping for some exciting breakaway stage wins like in the Giro. I’m rooting for Sepp and Matteo too.
 
The climbing seems off the charts this year. And the race could come down to Stage 20, the second to last day, because it’s so ridiculously hard. Anyone could crack that day, even the leader.

The Tour de France is on NBCSN Channel 1211 on Comcast/Xfinity in Marin. Same broadcast as Peacock.
 
Man, seems over already as Pogacar seems intent on his team winning all remaining stages.
 
Mr Pogačar’s TdF to lose, probably, but how much fun was it to watch today’s stage?

so much fun, seeing Mr Simmons counter every attack from the epic breakaway in the last couple of miles in his USA jersey, and delivering Mr Mads to the stage win? :laughing

and: at the end of the stage, the Kingdom of Norway, ftw!

UAE certainly didn’t seem too interested today in trying to win this stage by running the breakaway and Mr Træen down?

Unloading the yellow jersey should make for some easier days until they get back to the mountains in the final week.

Mads barely had to try in today’s sprint. It’s so crazy how much stronger a sprinter actually is for that short duration.
