Dangerous question, I know. Managed to avoid coverage all week, would like to catch up, but probably can’t do the whole 4 hours tonight.

Any stages which are definitely ones to watch or very skippable?

Ta!

Monday was rest day, Tues/Weds both very misable just watch the final sprints on you tube. Yesterday was a belter watch it all twice!

Sprint stages have been achingly predictable, watch one then you’ve seen them all.

Except the one where that thing happened you should definitely watch that one*

Mountain stages have been interesting, so watch those.

* I’m messing with you, nothing happened.

8 pretty good
9 great
12 great

Yesterday was a belter watch it all twice!

If you somehow can get to see the whole thing, do it and get some beers in. A brilliant day.

Lance Armstrong’s ‘Stages’ podcast. Just listen to each day in turn, they’re about 40 minutes long.

Think what you like about the man’s sporting ethics, he’s a bloody good presenter, and obviously knows le Tour inside out.

Worth watching the last 20 mins of 11.

12 is sensational.

Great idea for a thread BTW.

Is it just me or did it look a bit easy for Landa, and he looks like a little “Big Mig”

Psst, it says “spoiler free” in the thread title.

I have the stage on the PVR if anyone wants it

Cheers all, I’ll just watch 12 and get the gist of rest on the “previously on 24” catch up at the beginning of the episode.

Try and squeeze the highlights for 9 in first if you can

Last Sunday’s stage for sure, you don’t get them like that very often
