Very cool to see Quintana a factor again. Too bad his team is inept.

I don't recall seeing places 2-5 that close after hitting the mountains in a while. The attacks are going to keep coming.

So tomorrow's stage looks like starts out with a retracement of part of today's stage, is that right? If so, won't that be a ton of downhill riding to start? Should be interesting.

They start tomorrow near the base of today's final climb. Here's a link to the route:
up and down the Alps
click on the "map" button just above the stage profile. You can zoom up/down to get the detailed map.

Thanks! I had looked earlier but was on my phone and had not zoomed in far enough to see that important detail.

Just watched highlights… wow. This tour has been sensational. Tadej finally looked human. My goodness me.

These next 1.5 weeks are going to be a doozy

This is insanity. I think I've seen a stage this year on ESPN, ABC, USA, and now it's on Peacock. There is no way the tour keeps a significant following if it continues to be this hard to follow.

USA is showing British open golf today and tomorrow. I was watching it on Peacock earlier this morning and they had the normal US broadcasting crew. I went away and just came back and turned on Peacock and now they have some foreign broadcasting crew. Totally bizarre

Very strong group at the head of the race right now. Hoping they can stay away.

Obviously pulling for Powless as the American today, but Pidcock has been a general in the break today. Really in command of the tempo.

I guess I hadn't been paying much attention to who all was on the Jumbo-Visma team until recently. That is a freaking pro bowl roster

Good grief these fans are giving me anxiety. I'm just waiting for a rider to go down.

What a freaking ride by Sepp.

Someone slapped a rider on the back. Rider turned around like "wtf?"

I was waiting for a rider to either push a fan or worse. I remember Chris Froome punching a fan in the head a few years back.

I'm not exactly in shape to ride a bike up a hill, much less Alpe de Huez, but could you imagine a blue smoke flare in your face? Horrible.

NBC has exclusive rights, so you may be mistaken. I think stages have been on three different channels platforms though: USA, NBC, Peacock. I have peacock for Premier League soccer. It's coverage of the Tour is the best so I've watched all stages there. There's a preshow, Bob and Phil, postshow.

I can barely ride up the hill on Villa Maria with no wind in my face. I cant imagine breathing in all that smoke and still hammering the tempo on the front.

I like that the peacock version is commercial free but dont really like the "play by play" guy too much.

The coverage on the platform has been great.

One thing I love is that Sepp is definitely Jumbo's go to guy to get their GC contender up a mountain. He's done it for Roglic over and over again and now for Vindegaard

Sepp!!!! Amazing ride buddy!

BTW- used to be two hotties on the podium standing next to the winner. Now it looks like a balanced male and female model... bring back the hotties!

So I thought I heard the (non commercial feed) announcers say that the riders aren't riding bespoke bikes but instead they're all on something you could get in the bike shop with no custom paint. Is that true?

Jumbo might get attacked this week heavy. Was very surprised to see Primoz drop out on top on Kruijswijk abandoning. Jumbo looking slim.

It's really cool to see 2 Americans shepherd their team leaders through the mountains
