is it just me or can you follow the results online, know all the results and still be glued to the TV tonight to watch the replay?

 

[jacksonpt]

wow... sounds like it was a great stage. I "watched" it here (thanks N8) and on ESPN's tracker (pretty cool). I hope I get to see the replay after work.

"Gimme that mutha fvckin yellow jersey, you BITCHES!" :mumble:

HA - good one! I was impressed with Phonak as well.

Yeah, props to Phonak for finishing second despite the fact that they only had five riders at the end.
Does this mean that Tyler only loses 10 seconds using the new Tour formula for the TTT?
