ChrisL Posted June 30, 2022 Share #9 Posted June 30, 2022 The $10000000000 question is: Since @Square Wheels has free time to watch the tour, can we discuss it here???! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Beanz Posted June 30, 2022 Share #11 Posted June 30, 2022 It takes some watching of the other tours to get familiar with the latest gc contenders. But it's all good. Some of the upcoming riders just a couple short years ago announcers were saying they couldn't be beT. But they're getting beat by the new gc riders generation so that's always cool. 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentonMakes Posted June 30, 2022 Share #13 Posted June 30, 2022 It's on the premium Peacock streaming channel, yes? I imagine I will pony up for that... though I generally don't have time to watch all of a day's stage (weekdays, at least). Last year NBCSN or whatever they called themselves had about a half-hour highlight show that was great. With no input or encouragement from me, my daughter took it upon herself to watch some of the women's Tour of Italy earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted June 30, 2022 Share #17 Posted June 30, 2022 Yes, bu more in a background sort of way than a very dedicated sort of viewing. I would have been interested in seeing Cav go for the record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share #25 Posted July 1, 2022 For most of the flat stages, I may only watch the last 30 minutes or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For flat stages, I watch the first 30 mins or so to get the latest news at the start. After a good look at the stage - like if there are key sprint points along the way or maybe strong crosswinds - I'll make note of that and likely tune in for those bits. I then look for the break to get established, and if all that sorts out okay, I will watch those bits plus the final 10 km or so to see the catch and the set up for the sprint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted July 1, 2022 Share #27 Posted July 1, 2022 Most years I don't really care who wins, so I like having it on in the background for scenery, commentary on the strategy (or historical info about the locations) and as a way to get to know the current riders. Watching the Tour is part of summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - it was a sneaky change. NBC axed NBC Sports and the Olympic channels, but for some unknown reason, USA made the cut, so they moved it there. Goofy. My DVR automatically records the Tour year after year, but this year, the channel change meant it didn't "see" it until I updated it to record from USA. I didn't look to see if tomorrow they begin the pre-show again or if that is gone completely. I liked that 30 min lead in, so I'm interested to see where it goes.
