Live video of Tour de France

CyclingFans.com has an excellent list of links to 2009 TdF coverage on video (and audio-only) – not just live streams but archive stuff too.

Remember that for copyright reasons and so on, some stations such as many French ones restrict viewing to people (or IP address of your computer) in their country only.

A few bits and pieces are also beginning to appear on YouTube, including the World Cycling Channel’s channel.

And here are some  Eurosport highlights from Stage 5, the Hérault and Languedoc-Roussillon bit the other day. They’re very edited (look at the miles tick down in the top left corner of the screen).

Oh, and before you ask, the splendidly frantic music is “Le coucou” by  Louis Claude Daquin (1694-1772).
