John, You need a better news service. I watched the Tour all week on Outdoor Life Network via Satelite dish in Chicago... About 7:30 AM to 10 AM daily, or one of the 3 replays per day.
Furthermore, if you were following the race you would know that today in Paris is a formality. Nobody tries to unseat the leader in the last day's ride into Paris. It is a 'victory lap'. I've been following the race and am out of town. I had to get the final moments via streaming audio in the internet. I guess the Brits don't care much for televising the Tour de France. Regards, Bob S.
