Did you let it auto-run during today's stage?

I love the "Close follow view" :)

Here are some screeshots I made of today's stage:

I know this is a bit off topic but next year it will go through London which is bizarre.
didnt know that! interesting. how does that work? i mean, do they go through the chunnel?
 
Wow.. amazing day's riding from Landis. Looks like its going to be his for the taking on the time trial the day after tomorrow now. Awesome day. :D
 
I haven't been watching it today, I'll catch one of the many replays. Good to hear Floyd has made up some time today.

Yep.. back up to 30s behind the yellow jersey. He lost it for one day, and then just bounced right back.. haha.
 
It is wide open. GOOOO FFLLLLOOOOYYYYYDDDDD!!!

I am so excited right now. I was crushed yesterday when Floyd sucked. I thought, how could this happen?? He came back today, and will most likely win.

Did anyone read how the media completely wrote him off yesterday, and now they are writing about how he will probably win. That will only feed his desire to win.

Did I mention, Go Floyd!
 
Because of schedule I haven't had a chance to get in on this year's tour 'til today. Wow, what a remarkable comeback from Stage16 to 17. Is only OLN covering it, live? Any other U.S. networks giving live coverage? Thanks.
 
I believe OLN is the only one covering it live. I sure hope next year it will be available in HD.

You know you can really see the pain on these guys faces, it always seemed to me that Lance was an emotionless machine. Maybe someone can find some footage of Lance vs. Ulrich for a comparison.
 
I'd love to see some of that footage.

If anyone in the UK is interested, it is showing on ITV4 here.. 7pm every night.
 
Wow that was an epic finish. Being only 30 secs behind now I really think Landis can pull it off especially with the time trials approaching.

Go Landis!

Will Americans embrace the mustache? Will the mustache become the look next season? Will Tom Selleck make a true comeback? Will Landis get a bit part on Deadwood?
 
Landis is up next. Run, Floyd, run!
Crosses the finish @ 3rd fastest today. Will that be enough?
Update: Barring some disaster, Floyd wins it with a :59 lead in to tomorrow.
 
I'll be sporting my cap with pride!

Anyone take any bets this year?

I think I'll ride my John Deere in support of Floyd (and Phonak) today! He's got it made.

I watched just about all of the coverage here in the US on OLN. My fiancée watched most of both the morning and the expanded evening coverage.

Definitely a thrilling race...Floyd was an easy guy to cheer for.

really great story again this year... a shame that most americans probably missed it.
I've followed with great interest, but don't get OLN. Last year I was on vacation and they had OLN so we watched it every afternoon, and I missed that this year.

At least local (Chicago) sports covered the results each day, and I always had ESPN to go to as well.

A frenchman should have headbutted Floyd

why?

that doesn't make any sense...

Now Landis has "dissapeared" and not shown up for races in Holland yesterday and Denmark today. The Danish paper Ekstra Bladet claims to know that it is Landis that has tested positive. The UCI director responds indirectly when asked if Landis is involved, saying something like "that I cannot comment, but I'm extremely angry and the whole reputation of cycling as a sport is at stakes" VG)

this would definitely be a huge blow to cycling... hopefully it isn't true
