Anyone watching...anyone care? Saw stage 2 was on the television today so I watched it for a while while doing house work. Didn't know if there were any cycling fans on BOTL.

You're right Bob, I don't believe it :bouncetau.
Yeah, they were awesome...well at least to watch, I'm sure it sucked being in them.
Last time I really watched it was when Lance won his 7th. I had my mountain bike stripped apart and did repairs/upgrades on it while watching. Been fun watching it this time around though.

This is my favorite time of the year. Great stages so far I still need to watch today's.

the cobbles are going to make this stage very interesting.

Anyone care to make predictions on how Lance will do?

Bummer Frank Schleck crashed out on the cobbles (broken collar bone). He and Andy always remind me of the Hansen brothers in Slap Shot.
While they are a great climbing tandem, it might actually free up Andy if he stops looking around for Frank on the climbs.
I would love to see Andy beat Contador. As far as Lance, he was a great champion, one of the best, but I actually wasnt a fan last year, it was too reminiscent of LeMond/Hinault.

Cool finish on stage 4 today, those round-a-bouts are tricky.

Gonna be an interesting year. Contador and Shleck seem to be the class of the field, but the team competition is gonna be tight !
I was a regular watcher since the 90's, and really cheered Lance as he (supposedly) beat the odds to get all his wins. But as the last 10+ years have been revealed to be better cycling through chemistry, I've sort of soured on the sport.

I barely have enough time to get in Deadliest catch let alone watch the tour for hours at a time. But a firend also says its great, so given these recomendations I may have to put it on for a test run.

I've been really busy with work, so who knows how much I'll be able to watch. Still, every year, including this one, I do a fantasy TDF bet with a friend. I'm hoping I get to catch a few stages... will probably DVR a handful to watch when convenient.
