This morning I wandered off to check out le Tour via my previous entry and while at Yahoo! Sports Cycling I saw something I hadn't noticed before.
There was a link to a stage 15 log and when I brought it up, it looked a lot like the live log data on the main Tour page. It also looked a little different and then I noticed... Oh, the UK version of Yahoo! Sports (called Yahoo! Sport there). I was off and running to poke around a bit. If you're interested in Football (no hands!), Cricket, Formula 1, Rugby, Snooker and who knows what else, go play.
The UK cycling page has all kinds of interesting information not available on the US pages and an entire section devoted to Tour de France with boatloads of stuff we don't get as nicely done (or at all) like team lists, maps, interactive results, and more. All of which is done in a way that's very familiar if you've used the US sports pages. I'll be heading back there to start next time.
I knew they were covering different sports, but it had never occurred to me that they might cover the same sport differently in different places.
Interesting!
