All stages (including details, stage profile and time schedule).

Best stages (mountain stages and pavè).



Who is your favorite? Who will win the Tour?

I think that will be a fight between Chris Froome (SKY) and Alberto Contador (SAX).

I predict that no American will win a stage, let alone the Tour itself...  and that Mark Cavendish and Fabian Cancellara will finish the race on the podium.

Please don't let another Brit win this. I'm fed up with Brits.

Why are they racing in Britain?

I predict a doper/alleged doper will win this.

lol Côte de Buttercups.

Thanks for your opinion, Antonio- but I doubt it's one that many other people hold.

It's awfully random which get started and which don't. Some years we have a college football thread, some years we don't.

Tennis is a good sport. Not that the result today was even slightly pleasing, of course Angry

I mean, if you think tennis is boring, fine. But the most boring ever?

I only mention Wimbledon, because Canadian players have done the best ever, so I've actually bothered to pay attention this time.

Give me something to celebrate. We haven't made the World Cup in my lifetime and England did terrible.

As for the Tour de France, Ryder Hesjdal isn't in it, so we have no chance to bother paying any attention.

Nibali looked very strong, and had excellent team support. He's in good position to wear yellow at least until stage 10. The first mountain stage will show if he has anyone prepared to challenge him.

Well...
Yesterday, Tony Gallopin gains the yellow jersey (with an advantage of 1'34" on Nibali and 4'08" on Contador).
Today, Contador is out from the race because of a fall.
