My vote goes to http://live.cyclingnews.com/, as compared to http://www.letour.fr/2002/us/index.html and http://www.csc-cycling.com/tour_live.html. Any other sites worth checking (alas, can't get an audio feed at work)?

Roadbuzz,

I like OLN, they don't update as often as I would like
(they go every minute, I want realtime!) however,
you can get live feed of Ligget and Sherwen callling the
race so you can at least listen.
Here's the link:
OLN Tour de France (http://www.olntv.com/tdf02/index.html)

Marty

edit: Doh, the OLN is the same as the second link you posted.

Is anyone taping the TDF? I'm looking for yesterday's CBS special as well as the full OLN Stage 14? Thanks

Agree that it isn't worth wasting the tape on. I watched it,
and except for having Ligget and Sherwin in CBS shirts its
rehashed OLN coverage, only you get 14 stages crammed into
1 hour (with commercials). The whole thing was once again
about Lance, which in the US for general public wasn't a bad thing, it just didn't mention the other 188 riders :lol:
