I know the history somewhat - was not watching in the Lance Armstrong days. Didn't like him.
I keep my eye on 2 or 3 riders from Peru/Ecuador, etc.
Egon Bernal, Nairo Quintana, etc. Don't know if NQ is in the tour this year.
As for teams, I follow EF and 1 or 2 others.

I like the back and forth between Phil Liggett and Bob Roll, both for the history and the humor.

I don't watch horseracing and I will never watch LIV golf, but can't resist the French countryside rolling by as well as the terrifying descents and switchbacks in the mountains.
We usually record it if we're going to be out. I know there are real problems and I really wish there were more poc in the Tour, but we may not get back to France, so it's our little substitute.
