April 18 update: Here are the options for live and delayed coverage. They are similar to last year except Spain's Teledeporte (TDP) sports channel is not covering it live this year. There may be other options at race time. Feel free to send in additional sources for live video, tv coverage or text updates/tickers as they become known. — Steve

Stage 4 ITT Highlights: The Final Riders (10:30 french) — sport+
April 16 update: After the mountaintop finish, we now have some time gaps heading into the stage 4 rolling TT. Rolling as not hilly but not flat either. Actually, there is a good little mesa in the middle of the course that riders will go up and down the other side. Can Igor Anton hang on to his 13 second lead over Alberto Contador? I doubt it but watch and see for yourself. See the race summary table (r) for the stage profile, map, timetable. — Steve

Stage 2 Final Kilometers (08:13 french) — sport+
April 14 update: The profile for stage 2 is the flattest of all the stages this week, but stage 2 is also by far the longest at 210 km and there is a 60% chance of rain in the forecast. There is small bump inside 10 km to go and then the finish (last km) is dead flat. On paper, it setups up for another sprint finish but the weather could change all that. See the race summary table (r) for the stage profile, map, timetable. — Steve
