I'll probably watch highlights tonight too as I've actually missed most of the live coverage today. I also emailed the show last night to ask their opinions on Contador riding when it's entirely possible he could be banned in August. I hope they answer on the highlights show.

Hey, no problem AT ALL. Please don't even consider it...write when you wanna. I will just stay away from thread until I see the race. I watch the repeat at 8pm EST after work. Except on Saturday/Sunday of course! Must set the alarm so I can watch it live!

Enjoy the weekend live broadcasts. Who does the commentary over there or do you get the same coverage we do with Paul Sherwin, Phil Ligget and Chris Boardman?

It's been an uphill stage today which has stretched the peleton out a bit. The highlights will be good. I look forward to seeing them in a couple of hours.

Yes, Paul, et al. I think that Phil is an excellent commentator.

I like the team too...they've been doing it for donkey's years. The same team has moved channels several times too over the years. Phil is ace, very knowledgeable, as are they all really.

I missed the hightlights tonight because I'm at a friends place but I'll catch the repeat tomorrow afternoon before the live coverage starts.

Oh dear. Yet more riders leave the Tour injured in crashes. Poor Vinokourov, they're talking about career ending injury. I hope for him that it's not.

There's already been one of the tour motorcyclists in trouble now there's a car driver. I was staring in disbelief as the driver clipped the rider closest to him. I suspect that driver will lose his job.

I'm pleased to see that Thor has had to cede the maillot jaune to Voeckler who rode really well, it was a shame that he ended up taking second place for the stage.

I missed today's stage because......I was out riding.

I should get to see some of the repeated highlights show tomorrow lunch-time.
