Stage 3 cap would be nice if anyone has an extra! The bill is nice, and the Mt. Diablo on the side is cool.

That'd be incredible!

Update: Looks like they're $25 a piece and sold out of Rapha's traveling coffee trailer which is setup at each stage out on course (or in the rider parking lot). I'll be at stage 5 and 8 and, since I've been thinking of buying a cap like this to possibly combat a sweat-in-the-eyes issue I've been fighting.. well, I think I'll buy at least one, so I could pickup one for you as well if you'd like.
I'd really enjoy that. I was going to tell you where you can get them. If memory serves, stage 5 might be one of the stages they won't be at the start, but rather on the course. I'd really like to have stage 8's cap though. At $25, they are not to bad. Typical Rapha cap pricing is about $45 - I think - so $25+shipping and reward is do-able. I think their retro look is worth the price. Certainly more tasteful than most caps on the market today IMHO.

Haha, that's pretty much exactly what happened. I watch the NBC coverage live (or have been), but I download the EuroSport coverage from Cyclingtorrents. What really sets me off about the NBC coverage is the cycling:commercials ratio is about 1:1.
