Tour De France / Tour De France Femmes 2022

a decent run-up to the finish line... let's hope for some crosswinds

the women's tour parcours is great, getting harder and harder

I do wish they'd gone for a longer women's tour right away, and not such short stages, but I find it encouraging to see one that's 175km, which is at least a decent length. I'm also not sure the back-to-back format will work, but I guess that to run the men's and women's tours roughly concurrently, they'd need twice the equipment, e.g. start/finish infrastructure, which may be some time before it can get financed.

Mmm Belgium...

they'd also split the tv audience if both were at the same time, which wouldn't be good for either, surely?

Will, can you help me out with that one? ^

Just a few days to go now!

Racing not starting til midday so i presume a 5pm uk finish not 4.

ffs that clashes with nursery pick up time, why are the organisers so selfish?

Dad's are marginal target group.

Tennis int it

They gonna zip past about 100m from our front door.
I have the day off to take it all in.

We have grand plans of following the circus along, camping by the route, but I'm recovering from surprise very shit sickness so we'll see.

This is the right kind of Tour de France content:

One for @FixedCheese

Is there still a chance for Cav, if some team mate is unable to race, or is it all over by now?

It's Our Cav M.B.E.

And no

Any recommendations for which channel/stream to watch the tour? Ideally without adverts

That tight bridge section is scary.

GCN+/Eurosport. But of course there’s a payment…

My town showing itself in a bit shitty but honest way.
The cheering for Jonas Vingegaard was beautiful though.

Definitely liking the use of Pink Floyd's "Time" in the ITV4 coverage.
