Tour De France

The race coverage is pretty good here in the US with one of the cable networks (VS. - www.versus.com) showing each stage live and then showing 4 re-broadcasts throughout the day. They have Phil Liggett, Paul Sherman, Bob Roll, and Craig Hummer doing most of the announcing. I'm guessing the commentary is dumbed down for the US (non cycling oriented) audience compared to what those of you in the UK get. The VS. website has lots of video and some streaming live coverage (plus unfortunately lots of advertisements on the front and back end of the videos). Are there other better European or UK based sites?

It is all pretty cool. I think it's the only live bicycle racing coverage available in the US.

For those that don't care about bicycle racing; the coverage is worth watching for the images of the gorgeous French countryside alone.
