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 and again enjoy extended ad-free coverage without these imbeciles? Please. Please! I beseech thee.

As I wrote before. I guess some of the sprinters will survive. I don' t think Van Aert will have more chances to win than the previous two rides. If Philipsen does not get over the last hill, Van der Poel may join the sprint. Complicated.

If you do the peacock premium plus you will have the options of two live feeds.:

  1. The USA version with the cast of characters you dislike, and adverts.
  2. The international English language feed with no adverts and a deadly dull commentary.

The agreement was to send Magnus ahead. And for him to report to other teams where are the potential places to take a pee. He had a rather hard time i finding them and hence he took all the KoM points as the search for such spots went along.

Now the real race begins. Denmark was all fun and games, but lets be honest now, foreign starts are usually something not that interesting sporting-wise and Denmark was not different, unfortunately!

Relatively hard stage, I hope Van der Poel will try something tomorrow to avoid a mass sprint. He probably wont succeed even if he tries as this is their last chance for a very long time.

Pay the $5.25 and for the next tier of Peacock and you get the world feed, ad free :).

Don't think VdP will go all in. Stage 5 and 6 offer far better chances to win and potentially grab yellow.

Tomorrow I'd like to see Cort stay in polka dots :).

His chances are definitely good. He's got six points, and there are six points on offer. So in order for someone else to take the jersey, that guy would need to:

1: Win all the KoM sprints tomorrow.
2: Be better placed than Cort on GC. (Okay, this part is quite easy, as he has already lost a good chunk of time.)
3: Not be called Quinn Simmons.

I'm afraid to mention the wind, because it's on 3Bft tomorrow, but the last part they ride to the north east while there is a northwestern wind. So the wind is directly coming from the side while they ride along the coast. It's just highly unlikely there is enough wind I guess.

Yeah, he has said as much. Even stage 6 may be be for Philipsen ...they apparently haven't decided yet.

The ITT already made me question MVDP's form.

I can't really see Philipsen holding on until the finish on stage 6 as long as there is a decent pace.

How will Netflix add drama to stage 3? Fake action music, behind the scenes drama? Team car having a flat tire and needing to chase back on only three tires?

The ITT where he got top 5?
5th like last year, but on a course better suited to him (though against stronger opposition). Seems similar. His team is weaker this year, so it's not straightforward to compare how well he did as part of the sprint train.

You don't know that as well as I do. But I saw the live broadcast twice. There is no doubt that agreements were made here.
But of course you can always try to convince me and others with arguments. I'm curious.
To be honest - you have presented zero evidence to your claim yourself. Except that you knew from the moment you started watching. Which isn’t a very convincing argument…

and it’s your claim - you should carry the burden of proof…

I don't think this TT suited him apart from the rain, and the late starters had better conditions than he did.
