Have really only gotten into cycling this year - but am loving the TDF. I'm on a few days off, so I've been watching a fair bit of it so far.
It really doubles as a tourism advert for France - when ever the riding is a bit boring, the TV chopper gains some altitude and shoots the amazing scenery. The coastline of Corsica was incredible.
I was a bit disappointed to see such limited press coverage of an Australian getting the yellow jersey - didn't appear on the top stories for news.com or abc.net today. Cycling certainly isn't "unpopular" in Australia - lots of weekend warriors.
