Cav looks good

Does anyone who's got Peacock Premium Plus subscription know if they're providing the World broadcast this year? They had it last year on the Premium option but it's not there thisyear.

My research is telling me there is no world feed on Peacock this year. Wasted my money. I just got a VPN to try to watch the SBS Australia feed but that isn't working either, says I need to disable my ad block even after I uninstalled it.

[buttahflake]

Did not have Bardet on my radar, really happy for him and the team.

[sfotex]

Looks like today is a preview of what's to come. Should be some good racing!
Hope Matteo is ok.

[TBS]

Looks like Vingo is feeling good…

[ktoor]

whats are peoples votes for cav getting the record this tour? i was gonna put money on it until i saw that stage 1 struggle lol.

stage 2 was way more exciting than it used to be this early. this new era of racing is so much more fun to watch but cant help but think how they can keep it up (and for pog, especially after the giro).

lol...that "heat" will get ya every time

Who thought a wide open avenue would provoke multiple pileups?
The zigzag at 750m seemingly didn’t even feature

Rooting for him but not expecting it at all when I look at the sprinters field

[grabtindy]

Most engaging start to a tour in years IMO. I don't think Cav gets it, would love to be wrong.

Is there anything like a google map link which each stage route?

I like doing virtual sightseeing as I watch.

Stage 4 is going through one of my favorite parts of the alps up from Via Lattea to the Lautaret close to La Grave. It goes past many awesome ski areas and backcountry skiing.

[The SnowShow]

This is a gorgeous area this very select group is cruising though

[sfotex]

Well, that went like I thought. I figured Vingo would be in good shape, but not as good as last year. It will be interesting to see if the Tour of Italy drags on Tadej as the weeks go on + Vingo gets his fitness back.

[buttahflake]

It’s always fun to see Steve Porino talking to Glenn Plake way up high. His outfit today was so good.
No Sepp is going to be a major hole for Visma

[grabtindy]

Don't mind me, just patting myself on the back for a bangin' start on Velogames:

• The Spirit of Gravel
  GrabtindyUnited States of America
• Overall Race Score: 1928
  Overall Rank: 21 of 29808

I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking for - unless it’s simple a Google maps route? Is it that simple? - but each stage has multiple links on the site to a few useful pages, including a map and strava route.

Hmmm, looks like other then the individual time trial there's not going to be a lot of opportunity for the GC to change much in the next 10 days especially with the UAE team dominating...

Yeah, UAE’s strategy of riding everybody off their wheel from the jump looks like a winner this year. Guessing they don’t want to allow Vingo to use the early days to build fitness.

Vingo’s last 15km in the wind by himself cost him a time bonus. But I think he figured he could hang with Tadej…

We pay at the end, directly to the winner.

For those using Peacock, are you having issues with the app crashing when they break for commercials? I got it so I wouldn't have to watch the constant barrage of annoying commercials on whatever channel the free feed is on but this is just as bad.

[::: :::]

I’m watching peacock on the Apple TV app. So there are commercials (but not many) & no crashing.

[Garth Bimble]

I just saw commercials for VRBO/Ford...I think those are the only 2 I've seen. Weird.
