Tour de France: PLEASE, NO SPOILERS!

[LarryG]

Yes, folks, it's that time again ... the start of Le Tour is almost upon us, which means it's time for me to renew my annual request to PLEASE NOT DISCUSS the results of each day's stage here on BT3Central UNLESS the thread title clearly indicates that spoilers are present.

Some of us like to tape the daily coverage and watch it that night, and it's no fun if we already know the outcome. It's easy enough to avoid cycling web sites during the three weeks of the event. But there's still the chance of getting blindsided on a site like BT3Central, given that the members have such wide and varied interests.

Thanks very much!

People actually follow and watch that? :P Just kidding. No worries about spoilers from me. I would not have known it was even going on until I read this post.

I guessing a thread title of "SPOILER - Coppi leads the day again - SPOILER" would be sufficient indication that spoilers are present.

How about a Title of Lance take Tour back from France. I will be watching, my boys were involved in cycling and trained here in Nor Cal when Le Mond and the 7-11 boy were racing. Much fun and a lot of work traving to the races and the training. To Bad the dope took over.

Is the Tour just on VS (Versus)? My cable provider doesn't carry it. I guess I
have to watch it online.

I'll be watching every morning again this year, but I promise to keep it to myself! I was on part of the course a couple of weeks ago. I drove most of the Nimes-Digne stage (#14, I think). Unfortunately not on my bike. Looking forward to the Tour again!

"SPOILER - Coppi leads the day again - SPOILER"

Or Jacques Anquetil takes the mountian stages!

[jussi]

Oh come on you know Lance is gonna win it again. He's still racing right?

[gary]

Here is a spoiler for you. Some guy on a bike wins it.

[Kristofor]

Here's even more of a lock for a spoiler Many guys on bikes will get the boot during or after for cheating.

Yes, VS only. And as far as I know there is no officially-licensed internet distribution in the US. There may be bootleg streams, but it can be expected that they will be shut down as soon as ASO becomes aware.

Whats the point......

With the only American that had a chance to win, disqualified because he joined the wrong team(Hincappie)....whats the point? Man, you know Brunyeel is steaming! It's a French conspiracy to remove US riders of any contention from racing after US domination for so many years....even though Contador isn't American, but rode for an American Team (Discovery). I will still watch the evening highlights.....just don't seem fair!
