It was accidentally listed as Tour of Switzerland 2 years ago here in Germany. Hence why I assumed it might have happened again.

Ik praat zelfs Nederlands trouwens. :D

NBC Sports’ cycling play-by-play caller Phil Liggett, universally known as the ‘voice of cycling,’ will cover his 51st Tour de France alongside analyst Bob Roll. Liggett and Roll will be on-site at each stage, along with reporters Steve Porino and former professional cyclist Christian Vande Velde.

Paul Burmeister will host daily pre-race and post-race studio coverage alongside Sam Bewley and Brent Bookwalter, who make their NBC Sports debuts as cycling analysts.

    • ‘Team Radio’ Audio: For the first time, NBC Sports will present select ‘Team Radio’ audio during the broadcast, playing clips of the communication between team directors and riders throughout the race
    • NBC Sports will utilize a cutting edge “Virtual” graphics Telestrator, which debuted throughout the 2019 Tour de France and produces augmented reality cyclist graphics for the commentators to move and analyze
    • The enhanced augmented reality features will include 3-D animated maps that track where the riders are in real time on the route and profile the stage terrain
    • Vande Velde will have a camera focused on him as he reports to offer real-time updates on race situations, while traveling aboard a motorcycle on the course

THAT IS NOT A SELLING POINT!!!
nothing against CVV ...it is annoying and worthless no matter who the reporter is.
Why do producers think anybody needs to see that?

mccrossan and roche were good last year. i prefer phil and bob but the commercials are way too much. i usually flip back over to them in the last hour. hopefully the peacock exclusive stages will be commercial free.

Is the real time data actually real time? Like when the wattages are displayed and it says 400W when a rider is freewheeling, and 50W when they’re attacking on a climb?

Will the team radio be just basic stuff or actually anything insightful?

Probably be on about the same level as showing the moto's speedometer as it is catching up to the peleton while the announcers are telling us that the riders who are coasting are going 100k / hr.

Horner is definitely missed. His insight was good. I guess I'll have to watch him on YouTube.
The US coverage on NBC is 60% commercials (I'm already sick of The Feed ads), 20% filler stories, 20% race. I'm gonna try and watch a Euro stream
