Okay how to cope with PTDFD
So what are your plans to cope with the Post Tour De France Disorder... Looking forward to watching the TDF everyday and after tomorrow, nothing.
For me get my fat Clydesdale ass out on the bike more and relish the memories of a entertaining TDF for the first time in a while.

It's tough, I kind had the feeling it's been over for several days now as far as competition for the top spot.Not one of my favorite tour de France's despite how exciting the commentators tried to make it sound as they always manage to do, they are a bit flaky. I wish there was a network that just had overhead video of beautiful France's roads and scenery lol

Loved the race and never had a sense anybody could beat Froome. Thought the NBCSN commentators and overall coverage was excellent.
Feel ya OP. Gonna miss the grand race as well.

Well, I can get back to my regular sleep schedule (instead of waking up at 4am everyday) for a couple of weeks. The Vuelta is only (4) weeks away and rarely disappoints. Not sure if this list of riders is accurate as of right now, but some very strong riders and a rested Nibali will make it must watch TV!

Other than NBC Gold, I really don't think there's US tv but someone else may know better. Here is a list of Vuelta entries so far.
