I couldn't possibly comment.
I'm sure repeatedly hitting f5 to refresh the text commentary will keep me from my work more than keeping the small video window open in the corner of my screen did... and I'll now have to go over to the in-laws at the weekend to watch it on Eurosport!

One good thing of having a phone/internet/tv package that includes cable is we even have a choiceof live tdf tv, with itv4 or eurosport. Ok so it's the same tv, but different commentary. I'e considered 'working' from home over this period, but decided it wouldn't be a success, so stivk to a mix of text updates (guardian,bbc, cyclingnews.com).
Bit of a different tour from recent years.
Hope all is going well over there,

we don't have a TV at home (otherwise we'd have Eurosport there as well!), so I was relying on the internet streams... oh well, at least the test starts today so I'll be able to listen to TMS!
interesting watching the English and the German text commentaries (although ARD even cut off their text commentary yesterday mid-race!) in parallel - they often have a different slant on things, and they've all been getting really critical of the Astana tactics over here (no partisan interest in seeing Klöden do well, of course)!
I was surprised Rasmussen didn't go for broke with an attack on the Galibier - I reckon it could well have succeeded, and if he'd have been able to pull out another couple of minutes there then he would have been looking good for the gc.
The Pyrenees should be interesting though!

its sport tastic today, TdF, Cricket, and golf, magic, eurosport.co.uk is good, but tends to crash near the finish as loads of folk log on!
missed the highlights yesterday, but sounded dull, a few days till the hills again, then it'll be really interesting to see what Rasmussen does.
