Tour de France 2015 - may contain nuts and SPOILERS

[rich p]

Eurosport prog starts at 12.15 so I guess there'll be a stream somewhere if you don't have ES.

Today's stage is supposed to be live on TV from the start, according to INRNG. Anyone know where - the stage starts at 12:25 Zulu and ITV4 don't start till 13:00?

http://www.procyclinglive.com/livestream/# says it will have a stream up from 12:30.

Thanks chaps, I was thinking I'd try the usual suspects. Just make sure my antivirus is updated first.

So when you view this on YouTube, why is Reifenstahl's Triumph of the Will shown among the other TdF videos to the right?

...and they're off.

Purito and Teklehaimanot have attacked already, and another group breaking off the front

I've only just seen the film of the Fuglsang-moto incident, before I was only guessing what happened. Just earlier the biker had almost taken out another cyclist before cutting across the pack and obstructing Fuglsang. He's been expelled from the tour. I think a retest should be mandatory for him too. Atrocious work.

Breakaway looking slow, Sky motoring back up to them

With Quintana keeping his powder dry, sitting on Froome's wheel.

Peloton's fallen apart already, lots of stragglers
