Anyone have a link for an online feed?

I've used SBS (Australian broadcaster) along with my Unblockus proxy. It uses the UK feed and commentary.

Steephill has a list of feeds which includes iTV (subscription?) and some other countries feeds in funny languages.

This trip to Kelowna was definately an undertaking - Liam and I had been planning this project for 24 hours. We worked really hard to pull out all the stops in this video. We had slo-mo goggle shots; time lapses; pedal flips; outrageous product shots; unloading and loading the bike; walking through the field with your hand in wheat. At the end of the day this trip was all about just getting out and riding with all my friends.

The official Android app says that it provides "a live stream of every stage on your smartphone or tablet via France Télévisions", but I didn't try it this morning.

Edit: Streaming only works if you're in France, or can make the app think you are in France.

Day 2 crashes and rain and wind took a toll on Quintana and Nibali. Sucks as it would be great to have them closer to Froome and Contandor when they hit the mountains.

Pretty impressive TT by Dennis on the opening stage. Average speed of 56 kph.

Not long before the first crash Jens Voight said that there would be carnage.

Last couple of days have had some bad stuff. Hopefully they'll stay safer in there next few stages.

Today was much better (safer) than yesterday.

Crazy, but entertaining, first week. Greipel has been impressive, and it was nice to see Cav finally get a win. I was glad to see Sagan move into the green jersey today, as he is a much better all rounder than most of the sprinters.

We'll find out on Tuesday who has their climbing legs.

Definitely a tough couple of days.

Geraint Thomas is the new George Hincapie.

Yeah, Sky is "amazing". Over the last 4 years they've had 3 or 4 different guys who did or probably could win the TDF. What are the odds?

Probably because Froome was running a 28T cassette…

English announcers are the worst homers, but I enjoy listening to the coverage by Sherwin and Ligget.

Wrong. Always.
