    Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 4 (Dunkerque – Calais, 171.5k)

    jfc. last year i subscribed to the peacock app and enjoyed the tour without an ad aevery 2 minutes and without the clown show of liggett and roll, well apparently NBC has found out about my plan and moved their coverage to peacock. Does anyone know where else I can stream the tour in English...

    Tour de France Tour de France 2021, Stage 11: Sorgues – Malaucène, 198.9 km

    I understand that and empathize with him, but he keeps getting corrected by a guy who is also watching the race on an ipad.

    Sorry if this is the wrong thread, I didn't see any US commentary thread, but for the love of god, they're just unbearable. I like Phil Liggett, but seriously, I just can't take his unending errors time and time and time again. I could go on, but it's just too much. Retire. Please. You are about...

    and who can forget Lily Tomlin's gem: ... No matter how cynical you get, it is impossible to keep up. ... Froome is just Armstrong 2.0 with a more studied approach. Less greedy, same mask.

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    so is there a thread here, or elsewhere, on what SPECIFIC magic potions that Froome/Sky are implementing that others are not using, or do they simply hire the best riders that respond better to the same potions that everyone else is using? Is that all it's about at this point, until some...

    Solid zero. Tour de snore. Well except Fro running up ventoux in yellow. His legacy.

    The worst Grand Tour you can remember

    Re: I loved 2006! Not the aftermath, nor being bït©h slapped by what cycling really is, but I liked the race. Altho I recall some really stupid team tactics. 2012, 2005 takes the cake. I have seen worse than this, but it is top 10. Froome running up ventoux in yellow. I am sorry, but I giggle...

    Re: Re: My point, which you also chose to ignore, is about the uneven-ness and disparity of treatment. 'We'll choose to get exorcised over a Froome comment, but not [insert any other rider's name] innuendo on the next page.' So yes, it does certainly appear that their is ample hypocrisy. I am...

    Re: Re: So where does it end? Because it goes on constantly in race threads for all the other riders too. Surely you have noticed it?

    Re: So which top riders other than Froome are not insinuated to be doping by posters? You can be disingenuous all you want but most of us weren't born yesterday. The sport is rife with riders who have had ped suspensions, and Lance (among many many others) never OFFICIALLY tested positive so...

    The worst Grand Tour you can remember

    Re: Re: I completely support your right to air your views. I don't get this ' where are the mods ?' shtick lately anytime anyone mentions something that anyone reads some sort of undertone into. Deal with it folks, it's a freaking message board, it isn't like we are lobbing live grenades at...
