And Bobke...good commentary...

Interesting to see if Dimension Data DS Rolf Aldag stays or quits. Apparently he's hot about Cav being left off the team and was loud about it before the start of today's stage.

??who made that decision then? If not the DIRECTOR?

5 helicopters parked next to race route at 60km to go. Wonder why? Big $ people watching? Bugno driving any of them?

Doug Ryder, the team principal.

Is there anywhere to see speed and watts as they're riding?

[Elefantino]

I stream 4 TV's (ROKU) and have one additional connected to a DVR box.

On the DVR box can watch and record from cable NBC Sports network.

However....that is on a TV I don't like to watch.

I'm looking over the NBC Sports App, and notice with the NBC Gold package, can watch the Tour on demand...ad free.

Is that what you guys are doing? How much does that cost? For a year, etc? Lots more on there beside the Tour also.

After many, many years of trying to get Tour coverage for free via the Internet (with spotty success), I finally gave in this year and signed up for the NBC Gold cycling pass for $54.99 for a season of cycling coverage. I signed up to watch the TDF, but I'll also be enjoying the other major covered events for the whole year whenever I have urge to check in on it. With the pass, I can watch via my phone app, on my laptop/pc, or on my Internet connected TV via my Amazon Firestick.

I'm happy with it so far.

Thanks....I just signed up for NBC Gold Cycling Pass.

An easy choice of which feed to watch on NBC Gold. Ad free with good announcers or with ads and crummy announcers.

Sagan will wear green tomorrow.

He may not give up that jersey.
