It is a very basic primer for people who want to try to get into the sport but don't quite know what to make of it. Every year for the last several years, I spring for either the app or web access to view the full coverage of each of the stages. Cycling is the only sport I devote any real time to, and Le Tour is the only race I follow start to finish (though I might start being more attention to the Tour of California now that coverage has expanded).
http://www.avclub.com/article/10-reasons-why-you-should-watch-tour-de-france-yea-221090 Back when Penn Jillette had a radio show, his sidekick, juggler Michael Goudeau did something I'm going to try this year. He rode his bike as long as the top rider every day. Obviously neither he nor I would ride the tough terrain (I'll be at the beach on the 4th of July when the race begins), but if the first place rider takes one hour to finish, that's how long I'll ride. If he takes four hours to finish... you get the idea. As hot as it has been here in Southern California, I will either lose a lot of weight or be in the hospital. -- Kevin M.
