Yeah, that was pretty cool. Too bad the gps for individual riders was down. I hope it's working today.

yeah, me too...it was intermittent yesterday. i like how you can zoom in on the map and follow the little numbered flags of the riders. i almost expected to see them actually riding if i zoomed in enough (i suppose one day, they'll be able to do that)

I'm so excited for this! They ride right past my house on Thursday :)
I think Friday I might go down to Solvang for the time trial as well. I'd really like to see how the pros do it and maybe try to learn something.

Followed the time trial today with the tracker. Lot's of good stuff and a great time trial. I won't spoil the ending but will say that the winner killed!

Does anyone know if the Tour Tracker will be used in any of the other big bike races this year? I think it would be a great addition to them and let fans follow the race real time.

That's really cool! I usually follow cyclingnews and velonews coverage, but that's awesome.
