Didn't see one up and with the Tour starting tomorrow AM I thought I'd kick it off.

Official Tour de France

I'll get it started with some predictions: I will take Nairo Quintana for the overall, Sagan for green, Quintana for white, and Rolland for polka dots.

As for tomorrow I'd put my money on Tony Martin claiming the stage win.

If you weren't planning on watching tune in to NBC Sports in the morning and I you won't be dissapointed.

Anyone else gonna be watching?

I will be. Probably the replay, since I'm still up right now.

I'll be watching, IMO some of the most underrated TV of the year.

Picks: Yellow Froome, Green Cavendish, White Quintana, Polka Froome

For all you Tour newbies out there (and I'm sure there are plenty), I found a pretty useful, although somewhat in depth at points, guide to the race for "rookies"

Other than the cobbles, it's a perfect course for Nairo. Basically no TTing.

The Mur du Huy stage is going to be amazing also.

Froome/Quintana/Nibali/Contador will be fun to watch in the mountains.
Sagan should take the green, and Quintana is definitely taking the white jersey and will probably lead the polka dots as well
Things will start getting juicy with the finish of stage 3 and stage 4. stages 10-20 are going to be must see TV.

I'm up watching Stage 1 right now. I'm gonna go all homer and pick Talansky for the overall. Yeah, I know he isn't a favorite, but I liked what I saw from him last year.
That said, I wouldn't be upset if Froome wins again, I like him too. (Is that un-patriotic to say on July 4th?)

Sad that Tony isn't in the yellow. Love watching the guy pound away on the pedals in a TT.
