Who's watching? Lots of new names this year - a lot of names missing - Froome, Cavendish.I'd like to see one of the long shots take it - Fuglsang, Yates and maybe most of all Richie Porte.

Great breakaway move by Alaphilippe to win. So nice to see some other teams other than Team Sky winning stages. Gonna be a fun tour.

Really great stage - happy to Sagan get a win.

Another really good stage today. Starting to think Matthews is second guessing himself - he had the perfect leadout and went too late. Big shakeup in the GC - Ineous showing that they are for real.This has been the most enjoyable TDF to watch in recent memory. I may watch stage 10 again tomorrow to try and figure out how the rest of the GC guys got caught so off guard.

The Tour is pretty much the only reason I give NBC Sports Gold money.Been a fun one so far - just finished watching stage 10.

Another great stage - excellent move by Ewan to get his first stage win. 11 stages - 11 different winners. Stage 12 will be interesting - I think Ineos might be in the yellow, but I would be hesitant to bet against Alaphilippe.

What a crazy stage - I've never seen a stage cancelled. I feel bad for Thibot - he had a realistic shot of possibly winning. Tomorrow will be very interesting - will they allow Geraint to attack Bernal? Doubtful he could make up the time. Maybe Alaphilippe has one more trick up his sleeve - 45 seconds is a lot to make up.

Well, as you all know by now - Columbia has its first TDF winner, and once again team Ineous / Sky has produced the tour winner. Still this was one of the more enjoyable tours to watch in recent memory. I guess I'll renew my subscription to Netflix now.

One acquaintance of mine remarked this one might have been the craziest Tour he can recall in 40 years of him following pro cycling, especially on account of the last couple stages.
