    Collective Tour de France stream thread

    I use mygoodstream_dot_pw. The site provides link into NBCSN stream with excellent quality. The drawback is that USA IP is needed and for that I currently use ZenMate VPN Chrome extension, that has 7-day free trial. After the free period expires I probably switch to use some other VPN service...

    Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE's)

    http://www.letsrun.com/news/2016/09/russian-hackers-release-galen-rupp-shalane-flanagan-anti-doping-data/ Interesting notes: Salazar lying that Rupp has more TUEs ? FancyBear does not release all TUEs at the moment ? FancyBear does not have access to all TUEs ?

    Not Official: No Galibier and telegraphe in le tour?

Really nice, small roads (D211B and D211A) and more climbing before MTF in Alpe d'Huez. I rode those...

    So why shouldn't AC have a stomach full of anger now?

    I would advice Alberto and Sammy to follow Vinokourov in flat stages. Vino is always positioned wisely in the pack regardless of his teammates
