Versus starts the pre race coverage of the prologue at 9:30 EST.
They have Liggett, Sherwen and the King of Rollisms, Bob Roll covering the race again. The three of them do a good job.

This makes the only Tour segment where I can picture any part of the route in my mind. I’ve been in that portion of London quite a bit, but only the motorway in France.

Bjarna Riis is not attending (nothing like admitting you won the Tour by cheating) and I would guess we won’t see Tyler Hamilton, Ivan Basso or Jan Ullrich even as spectators. Lance usually shows up for a day or two, however.

Too bad Danielson’s had health issues. I was hoping to see him race the tour this year.

Hi Freddy, what the hell is going on with Landis?
This is a crazy sport. A huge adrenaline pumping soap opera going on behind the scenes.

I have heard some rumours that Zabriskie has learnt how to climb.
Will be fun to follow him this year.
Cheers.

hehe.
They talked about it yesterday on Norwegian TV. One of the experts said:
“Look out for zabriskie this year. We have got reports that he
has become an excellent climber.”
Cheers.

Liggett, Sherwen
In my opinion, the best announcing team for any sport. They're entertaining and they know their stuff.
Welcome, everybody!
