If you haven’t made it on one of our Bikestyle Tours trips to the Tour de France this year, there are still plenty of interesting ways to track Le Tour - preferably while you’re at work so you’re accumulating money to come on a trip with us in 2008!
Firstly, you should keep an eye on our blog as we’ll be posting stories live from our trips throughout the Tour - look forward to some pictures and tales from the (Bikestyle) peloton.
As usual I’m enjoying the Cyclingnews live stage coverage, which can be complemented by the Eurosport audio feed and if you’re lucky a live video feed found by the Cyclingfans site - so all media are covered. Google maps visualisations and tracking provides a good view of where the riders are on a particular stage (including heart rate, speed and power output data for a few riders - very cool) , and if you want to find out how hard a particular hill is, you can see the live heart rate data for five different riders on the Polar site.
Of course if you really must work at work, you can view Tour footage at your leisure on the official ASO Le Tour de France YouTube site.
Keep an eye on the blog for more Tour-related internet goodies - I’ll be doing a roundup of the most interesting TdF cycling blogs soon. If you know of any cool stuff yourself, feel free to post a comment below.
