2017 TDF ok by me

Big train. Maybe too big. Impressive, but hurts race.

Loved the Tour this year:

The resurgence of French riders (and the crowds reaction)

The courage of Contador and Quintana
Not to mention DAN MARTIN

Uran and Bardet on the podium!

Landa missing the podium on the final day by SECONDS in the ITT.


Kittle's 5 stages after Sagan's dq (political move imo)

No drug busts (that I heard of)

And a shout out to NBCsn for giving the tour the world class coverage and production values it deserves.

Did anybody else notice that Phil and Paul were being gently isolated by the nbc producers? Very little camera time.

I enjoyed Bob and Christian disagreeing on tactics,
and their nutty predictions. They are getting better every year.

Steve on the moto always having real time input from the team cars.
That looked like a very tough assignment.

Jens' daily take on the tactics was enjoyable too.

I don't think the nbc coverage did a disservice to the spectacle that is the TDF in any way.

Not gonna nit pic*. I must admit I loved it.**

PLENTY of drama for me.



*ok, I could have done without Taylor Phinney's goofy videos.

** all these comments are based on watching the stages after recording them and zapping the commercials. I could not have tolerated it otherwise.
