Good morning all of you sun shiny folks,

the situation:
As some of you know, or maybe don't, I love bikes. Most years I watch every stage of the tour in the comfort of my own home, however, this year I'm cableless. I have done some poking around looking for a torrent site that might offer each days stage. I have had little luck.

the request:
Do any of you know where one might watch this on line or obtain a copy of the stages?

You all make me so proud.

Erm, getting TV shows via the web through BitTorrent and not paying for them is illegal, hence no useful replies...

Sorry. :)

tvrss looks like a nice site!


I love the TdF, and went over in 2004 to see the final live, and got some superb shots, but this years has totally sailed over my head. With no Lance, Ulrich, Basso etc, there's simply NO reason to watch it.

Fair point, but IMHO, I may as well be watching the Vuelta or Giro instead, and I never watch those. :)

Had money on Basso, but now, I have no idea.

Even before Basso et al were taken out, I liked the idea of Hincapie doing well... <quick check on official site - jeez it's a terrible site> 4th overall....meh.

I do, but not enough, as far as my big tummy is concerned... :)

BTW, there's some pics of the TdF I was at on my gallery, if you're interested.. got some nice wee close-ups - was right at the barrier on the Champs-Elysees....
