Tour de France blog.: Saw this via kottke.org. Thought you bike-buffs might like it. Aside from the expected coverage, you get offbeat stuff like Sheryl Crow, racing bike enthusiast. Enjoy.

Without wishing to be a snarky git, Dusted already posted that link.

He did? It didn't show up on the preview. Well, shiver me timbers.

I tell you, it is really fucking me off that I can't get to see the Tour this year. Bring me the head of Rupert Murdoch.

Eurosport, old boy, eurosport, with the added bonus of the most idiosyncratic commentary you could wish for, although this year they seem to have dispensed with the hilarious Sean Kelly translations.

I posted it inside an early thread, but that site really deserves the front page. There are at least 10 new postings per day!

I visit that after the official play-by-play runs out. (The audio feed doesn't seem to be working from the office.) (There've been three crashes already today, including half US Postal and McEwen, though everyone seems to be okay. But when are they gonna stop riding on wet glass or whatever it is? It sounds treacherous out there.)

Oh, and Lance's bike has its own blog, too.

It ain't a chuffing tea party; if they made it easier they wouldn't have to take all those drugs!

Watching them riding (and crashing) in the rain and wind made me want to go get back in bed.

Fuck Eurosport then. Sorry Rupert.

Sheryl Crow is a MILF.

She's even doing Lance's laundry and helping with the cooking duties. How cool is that? A rockstar doing your laundry.

Are they, erm, an item? I didn't know that. Looks like Lance has gotten, ahem, back in the saddle pretty quickly after his divorce. Go, go, go, man with one ball!
