eball Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Is it safe to say that the same crowd posting throughout the World Cup thread is scattered around this one as well?

One reason to watch the TDF (record the live morning shows to watch later) is the broadcasting team of Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen. This duo is the best sports broadcasting team I know of in any sport. Witty intelligence with a sense of humor, total technical understanding of the sport, and vast reserves of historical knowledge. Once you get to know them, you'll be tuning in just to hear their calls. Does he still call that team, “Leaky Gas?”
BuffaloBud Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 If there is one positive out of being out of work is that I can watch / listen to the live broadcast. What some of these riders are doing to stay in the race (Lawson Craddock) shows how silly some of these soccer players (Neymar) are. Vive le Tour!!

Vive le Tour!! @BuffaloBudis referring to the broken scapula that Craddock had from a crash in Stage 1 yet he continues to stay in the tour. https://www.google.com/amp/amp.timeinc.net/cyclingweekly/news/racing/tour-de-france/lawson-craddock-ready-fight-like-hell-stay-tour-de-france-breaking-scapula-385856%3fsource=dam There was a crash in Stage 4 and Tiesj Benoot finished with a dislocated soldier & a bunch of stitches in his head. He withdrew before Stage 5. For those interested, here are answers to Tour questions such as how they pee, how many riders have died on the Tour, and how much the bikes weigh: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bicycling.com/racing/gmp20037343/14-questions-youve-always-had-about-the-tour-de-france/ 1
North Buffalo Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 Had friends who were semi pro riders in my 20s. Mostly sprint races in the DC area. Its a tough and rough sports. Lots of elbows thrown and wrecks can be disasterous. The tour de France is rough and a model of crazy endurance. 1
