TGR's Tour de France Posting Protocol Reminder

Since a lot of people don't get to see the stages until later in the day, but others like to discuss the stage as it happens or after it's done, we've been having one thread for each stage with some obviuos title like "TdF Stage 72."

It's understood that the results will be in the thread, along with photos and heckling of dropped riders. If you don't want to see that day's results, don't open it. Also, if you start the thread, don't make the title "TdF Stage 3: Jan Crashes Out!!" Duh.

Should we carry on this tradition?

OMFG! ALEXANDRE VINOKOUROV, JAN ULLRICH, AND ANDREAS KLODEN ALL DIED IN A CAR CRASH WHILE GOING TO A GAY BAR TOGETHER!!!!

I agree with the protocol, but the fake report titles could get funny.

That's what they get for letting Jan drive. Probably drunk and high on E again.

Anyone taking bets on how soon someone chimes in with,
I watched the tour today and it was boring.
(limp dick icon here)

I'm betting the under.

Come on already, get to the mountain stages!!!

I don't even know who I am cheering for this year.
I like Lance, but I want his ass challenged, by about 3 different riders,
from 3 different teams, teaming to beat his ass.
And of course, when Lance beats them all, I will bow.

Bring on the stoke!!!

It's started! ...almost, the Trout, Bobke and Phil have kicked off the pre race coverage.

This is the month of the year where I appreciate working at home the most, 3 straight weeks of bike racing every morning on TV.

Nice to see the TDF threads going. Been all over Europe and will be at the next two stages, just not todays. Thinking about throwing a shout out to TGR on the road. Not sure if paint or chalk is the way to go, but keep an eye out.
