Live Audio Coverage of the Tour de France

The Tour de France will hit the mountains today with today's Stage 10 heading into Pau. The mountain climbs are expected to shake up the general classification in what is the most wide-open race in years. We're rooting for Floyd Landis, but are well aware how good those T-Mobile boys looked on Saturday.

OLN is broadcasting live coverage of Tour on cable television. Of course, if you're at work and don't want to wait until the end of the day, OLN is not of much help. The Tour de France publishes text news flashes, updated every few minutes. These useful, but far from perfect.

Fear not, we have a solution. Eurosport broadcasts live audio coverage of the Tour over the Internet. The coverage is a bit goofy at times, but the announcers do know what they are talking about it.
