So it’s that time of year again. The basketball season is over, and the world’s (or at least my) sporting attentions turn to cycling. That usually means one thing: a heavy dose of Vs — home most of the year to wacky fringe sports like bull riding, hockey and MMA — for the Tour de France. If you’re in to bike racing at all, it’s three weeks of quality television. From beautifully shot race coverage to a color announcer who quotes Snoop Dogg lyrics — “if you’re the boss, you have to pay the cost” regarding Tom Boonen’s tour banishment for testing positive after getting all coked up at a party — you really can’t go wrong.

This year, however, there are even more options. In particular the Garmin-Chipotle team is making a standout effort to keep fans up to date with both a twitter feed and a Flickr photo set for the tour. Cool!
