I'll be doing write-ups on every stage, but I do it for fun, to synthesize, and for memory; for real coverage of the Tour de France here are my recommendations:
- VeloNews: Stock coverage of the Tour de France, with additional interviews and rider diaries.
- CyclingNews: The site I go to when I don't want spoilers (and the coverage is good). The text-based site is carefully laid out such that you can visit the front page and access results from previous stages without the mots recent results spoiled for you (in case you're catching up on TiVo).
- Daily Peloton: I've become addicted to their Daily Jambon report. It's cheesy, but fun, and they try to celebrate the achievements from the entire field, not just the big names.
- Graham Watson: Pro photographer that will be out there on a motorcycle taking photos of the riders every stage. Most of the photos I use in my entries are Watson's.
- TdfBlog: the only cycling blog that I read regularly (both during and after the tour). A good spread of news from various sites.
