I haven't looked at your site yet so this may be covered. The one thing that I really am looking for is a site that talks about the team strategy and some of the strategic implications of different moves that happen during the tour in contrast just giving a running tally on what has happened.

A couple of years ago there was an amateur that ran a blog that really talked about the nuances in a way that made sense to this casual fan. He did a real good job of predicting what teams would try to accomplish in certain stages and how that played to their style or strengths and you could then watch following stages looking for certain types of things to occur. It really helped me understand that cycling really is a TEAM sport and not just a bunch of guys riding near each other.
