Foodstuff: The ‘gloo that holds it all together – The Aspen Times

Post author By Dr Hoster
Post date January 21, 2022

I cannot say for certain whether the people of Aspen live in a bubble, given that I am one of such people and Im not sure if anyone would know they were in a bubble from the inside. (See The Truman Show.)

But people in Aspen are definitely eating in bubbles, if the plastic private dining igloos popping up all around town this season are any indication.

Some bubbles came about as a matter of necessity last winter, when indoor dining skeetered between no soup for you and people can have a little table inside, as a treat and restaurants had to get creative to ensure diners could eat outside (er, inside-outside) without freezing their phalanges off.

Even after indoor dining resumed and stayed in play as pandemic restrictions eased, the igloos have stuck around for another season. A few new ones even cropped up, along with a couple of yurts (the igloos private indoor-outdoor dining cousin).

Last year, that was kind of the whole reason why we did the igloos in the first place was to maximize that patio space during COVID and more of the restrictions, and we still have tables now that will show up and they are cautious about COVID, and they want their own family in their own little bubble, said Rachel Koppelman, the chef at Platos Restaurant at Aspen Meadows, where there are three igloos on-site.

But the ethos this year seems to be driven not only by pandemic pressures but also by that Bonus Jonas of the Aspen Idea: mind, body, spirit and experience usually of a private, customizable and high-end variety.

Such is the case for the Diamond Dome on the rooftop courtyard of the conference center The Gant, erected in honor of the 75th anniversary of Aspen Snowmass with a marketing claim to Aspens only rooftop bubble experience.

The first group that booked the dome was sold on the private and small-group setting for a New Years Eve fireworks watch party, said Lou Eppelsheimer, the director of sales and marketing at The Gant; others have come to the dome who might be a little apprehensive to go out in town and eat in a crowded restaurant but are willing to entertain the idea of a smaller, more intimate space.

The Diamond Dome has its own dedicated server and two daily seatings at 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. Reservations are required 72 hours in advance the dome fits six to eight people comfortably but might hold 10, Eppelsheimer said. Theres a minimum food and beverage spend of $250 that turns into a cancellation fee if diners bail within 24 hours of their reservation.

Over at Duemani, the experience is as exclusive as it is unique, according to Carlos Solorzano-Smith, who oversees day-to-day operations at Duemani and sister restaurant Aquolina as a managing partner of Aspen Hospitality Group. There are two seatings, one at 5:30 p.m. with a $2,000 minimum spend and one around 8 p.m. with a minimum spend of $3,000.

Solorzano-Smith emphasizes service as well as cultivating a beautiful place and warm, fun atmosphere at the yurt, Solorzano-Smith said. The yurt an hold a maximum of 10 diners and also promises a dedicated server. (Most of these dining experiences around town do come with igloo- or yurt-dedicated waitstaff.)

Most of the yurts and igloos around these parts tend to run in that range a few hundred bucks and a few grand for minimum food and beverage spends: its $400 at both the 5:15 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. seatings for each the three igloos at Platos, which can fit six adults comfortably or eight cozily. ts $2,500 for the 5 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. seatings at The Snow Lodges yurt at the St. Regis, which can hold as many as 12 diners but has a recommended capacity of 10.

There seems to be an appetite for such private luxury experiences too, according to folks like Koppelman, Eppelsheimer and Solorzano-Smith who oversee the restaurants that offer these sorts of things.

But those of us with appetites but perhaps not the same cash-flow to sate them can still take refuge in one of these plastic domes without liquidating our assets.

Bonnies, that pancake haven on Aspen Mountain, has several eight-person igloos that are first-come, first-serve with no booking fee Monday through Thursday; the booking fee is $50 Friday through Sunday. Reservations are only available in person, so you might actually need those skis you were going to post on the Swap to get there.

Armory Square pub hits all the right spots (Family Dining Out Review) – syracuse.com

Post author By Dr Hoster
Post date January 21, 2022

(As the mom of two preschoolers, eating out as a family can be a challenge to say the least. Between the highchairs, kids menus and sippy cups, dining at restaurants sure looks different than it did a few years ago. But as a foodie, Im determined to not let these houligans ... I mean, the loves of my life ... keep me from enjoying one of my favorite hobbies. Join me on my quest to find great family-friendly restaurants in CNY, where you dont have to choose between a delicious meal or getting the side-eye.)

Syracuse, N.Y. Downtown isnt the first place that comes to mind when youre eating out with kids, but with a dedicated play area, reasonable prices and a menu that would satisfy even the pickiest of eaters, The Hops Spot Burger Bar & Poutinerie (THS) is on its way to changing that.

We ventured to the Armory Square restaurant with kiddos and grandparents in tow to fill our bellies after an afternoon of sledding. Grateful for street parking nearby, our party of seven was quickly escorted past a full bar of SU fans to a large table toward the back of the large, open restaurant.

We were still wrangling our 2-year-old in his high chair when our wonderfully patient and attentive server Charlie stopped by to see if we wanted anything to accompany our waters. The boys quickly indicated their preference for chocolate milk, but it was going to take the rest of us a little longer to browse through the huge selection of craft beers (38 taps), wine and cocktails ($7-$9.79). Draft beer is offered in three sizes (5, 10 & 16 ounces) making it easy to try a bunch, but dont pass on their signature mixed drinks.

I asked for something sweet, and as promised The Dirty Shirley (Black Cherry liqueur, vodka, and Sprite) went down easy reminding me of a cherry cola.

We placed the kids orders first (chicken tenders and grilled cheese) and were pleasantly surprised at the prices ($5.29-$6.79) as well as the side options: goldfish and carrot sticks in addition to the standard French fries and applesauce. The dedicated kids menu came with crayons and puzzles that held their attention for the five minutes before our 4-year-old spotted the play area. The plastic cups with lids and straws ensured there werent any spills.

With the kids distracted, we finally got a moment to take a closer look at the extensive menu. For a place known for its burgers and fries, we werent expecting the breadth of starters offered from pierogis to tacos. We ultimately decided to share the Fried Green Tomato Stack ($13.29).

THS adds a Southern twist to this caprese-style salad by layering fried green tomatoes with slices of fresh mozzarella, pesto and balsamic glaze. It tasted as delicious as it was presented. We only wished there was more of the sweet balsamic reduction which served as a balance to the tart tomatoes.

THS calls itself a Poutinerie and for good reason. Their fresh hand-cut fries and Yanceys famous cheese curds serve as the perfect base for the restaurants 10 poutine varieties.

Its not a coincidence that THS original location is in Clayton, N.Y., just across the border from the French-Canadian region this famous comfort food hails from. We took Charlies recommendation and tried The Dirty Plate ($14.29) which features a generous topping of chicken tenders, cheddar cheese curds, jalapeos, dill pickles and chipotle ranch. The dish was perfect to share and so tasty that we had to remind ourselves more than once to save room for the entrees.

The kids meals came out with our appetizers as requested, but pulling the boys back to the table proved difficult. I dont know why more restaurants dont offer something similar, but the small area dedicated to little ones is genius.

Its nothing crazya TV with kids Netflix, a height-appropriate chalkboard, and a climber/slidebut its more than enough to keep kids occupied (with something other than a device) while grown-ups enjoy a nice meal. The half-wall and bench seating make it easy for parents to keep an eye on things but also easy for our youngest to make a break and run around the restaurant on occasion. Thankfully our table was nearby and we could intercept him.

I tried a few bites of each and noted they were larger portions and of higher quality than youd find at most kid-friendly restaurants, a clear reflection of the ingredients like thick sourdough bread. My kids had no complaints when they finally ate upon returning home and realizing they were starving.

The rest of us on the other hand, left more than full (as reflected by our to-go boxes). My dad enjoyed the Honey Dijon Chicken salad ($15.29) which was generously topped with fresh ingredients and tossed in a tasty house-made vinaigrette.

Moist chicken was noted on both the salad and the Pickle Rick! ($16.79) that my brother tired, one of six sandwiches featuring THS buttermilk-battered fried chicken. This one had Szechuan sauce, dill pickles, cilantro aioli and a fried pickle speared on top of the bun.

The real stars though were the burgers. It was tempting to Build Your Own veggie, turkey, or grass-fed beef burger with their wide range of toppings and scratch-made sauces, but we decided to trust the kitchen and the remaining three of us ordered house burgers (16 concoctions ranging from $14.79-$16.79) which were huge and included your choice of house fries or side salad (or upgrade to poutine for $4.29).

Both of the beef burgers were perfectly cooked to order (medium rare). I could not have been more pleased with The BB King ($16.49)the combination of the smoked crumbled blue cheese and balsamic bacon jam melted in my mouth. My husband gave high marks to The Corporate ($16.29) which is THS take on a rodeo/western style burger with thick bacon, BBQ sauce and beer-battered onion rings.

My mom loved her Harvest Turkey burger ($13.79), which can sometimes be dry but not in this case. The combination of granny smith apples, bacon, cranberry aioli and maple syrup was the perfect bit of fall in every bite.

None of us could finish our meals, but like your last stop at the State Fair, dessert smelled too good to pass up. We ordered the Bourbon Caramel Dessert Poutine for all of us to share. Instead of potatoes, these were cinnamon sugared funnel cake fries served a la mode with decadent house made bourbon caramel. Despite vowing only to have a few bites, we somehow all managed to find enough room in our bellies to clean the whole tray. Next time Ill save room!

If there was any complaint, we felt the buns were a little dry and not up to the same quality as the rest of the ingredients. Upon revisiting the menu for this story, it occurred to me that none of our sandwiches came on the Kaiser brioche listed (and pictured in many reviews online). I called the restaurant to inquire, and sure enough they were out of their usual buns on Saturday and served us the gluten-free rolls instead. Our meals were still delicious, but I wish we had been made aware of the substitution (I may have opted for the pretzel roll instead).

It would take more than dry buns to sour our experience though. From start to finish The Hops Spot executed a superb experience for this multigenerational meal.

If you actually want to enjoy your childrens company, this might not be the placethe play area proved too attractive for our little ones to spend much time at the table. But we were more than happy to have adult conversation without paying a babysitter.

Linux servers and workstations are hackers’ next target, security researchers warn – TechRepublic

Post author By Dr Hoster
Post date September 12, 2020

Sophisticated hackers and crooks are developing more tools to target Linux-based systems used by government and big business.

At a time when use of open-source platforms are on the rise, researchers at Kaspersky have warned that sophisticated hackers and crooks are increasingly targeting Linux-based devices - using tools specifically designed to exploit vulnerabilities in the platform.

While Windows tends to be more frequently targeted in mass malware attacks, this is not always the case when it comes to advanced persistent threats (APTs), in which an intruder often a nation-state or state-sponsored group - establishes a long-term presence on a network.

SEE:Identity theft protection policy(TechRepublic Premium)

According to Kaspersky, these attackers are increasingly diversifying their arsenals to contain Linux tools, giving them a broader reach over the systems they can target. Many organisations choose Linux for strategically important servers and systems, and with a "significant trend" towards using Linux as a desktop environment by big business as well as government bodies, attackers are in turn developing more malware for the platform.

"The trend of enhancing APT toolsets was identified by our experts many times in the past, and Linux-focused tools are no exception," said Yury Namestnikov, head of Kaspersky's global research and analysis team in Russia.

"Aiming to secure their systems, IT and security departments are using Linux more often than before. Threat actors are responding to this with the creation of sophisticated tools that are able to penetrate such systems."

According to Kaspersky, over a dozen APT actors have been observed to use Linux malware or some Linux-based modules.

Most recently, this has included the LightSpy and WellMess malware campaigns, both of which targeted both Windows and Linux devices. The LightSpy malware was also found to be capable of targeting iOS and Mac devices.

While targeted attacks on Linux-based systems are still uncommon, a suite of webshells, backdoors, rootkits and custom-made exploits are readily available to those that seek to use them.

Kaspersky also suggested that the small number of recorded attacks was not representative of the danger they posed, pointing out that the compromise of a single Linux server "often leads to significant consequences", as the malware travelled through the network to endpoints running Windows or macOS, "thus providing wider access for attackers which might go unnoticed".

Prolific Russian-speaking group Turla, for example, has significantly changed its toolset over the years, including the use of Linux backdoors. According to Kaspersky, a new modification of the Penguin x64 Linux backdoor, reported earlier in 2020, has now affected dozens of servers in Europe and the US.

SEE: Social engineering: A cheat sheet for business professionals (free PDF) (TechRepublic)

Another example is Lazarus, a Korean-speaking APT group, which continues to diversify its toolset and develop non-Windows malware. Kaspersky recently reported on the multi-platform framework called MATA and in June 2020, researchers analysed new samples linked to the AppleJeus and TangoDaiwbo campaigns, used in financial and espionage attacks. The samples studied included Linux malware.

A number of measures can be taken to mitigate the risks of Linux systems falling victim to attacks, including straightforward steps like ensuring firewalls are set up properly and unused ports are blocked, automating security updates and using a dedicated security solution with Linux protection.

Organisations should additionally maintain a list of trusted software sources and avoid using unencrypted update channels; use key-based SSH authentication and protect keys with passwords; use two-factor authentication and store sensitive keys on external token devices; and avoid running binaries and scripts from untrusted sources.

"We advise cybersecurity experts to take this trend into account and implement additional measures to protect their servers and workstations," Namestnikov said.

Strengthen your organization's IT security defenses by keeping abreast of the latest cybersecurity news, solutions, and best practices. Delivered Tuesdays and Thursdays

Cloud Database and Database as a Service (DBaaS) Market Analysis On Trends and Need 2025 – StartupNG

Post author By Dr Hoster
Post date September 12, 2020

Global Cloud Database and Database as a Service (DBaaS) Market: Overview

Users have a lot to gain from database as a service models, and the cloud computing variants of these are the ones that can provide users with easy access to large databases at nearly any given time and location. Accessing this database does not require the used to physically carry the database, or have to set up any additional hardware or software. The service model ensures that all tasks within the administrative and maintenance sections can be carried out by the service providers, thereby allowing a user to free up resources, physical space, as well as time. Clients may or may not be able to control administrative duties of a database, depending on the service model being used.

Get Sample Copy of the Report @https://www.tmrresearch.com/sample/sample?flag=B&rep_id=374

DBaaS is a form of secondary service provided by cloud computing services providers and is strongly associated with XaaS. It may therefore be offered by companies under a number of options from the SaaS platforms they hold. DBaaS also provides a highly structured approach towards the collection, categorization, and maintenance of data for a user or a group of users. Most DBaaS providers offer solutions that are far cheaper than in-house database management solutions. They commonly offer their services and payment models based on either capacity of storage required, the use of features, or both.

Global Cloud Database and Database as a Service (DBaaS) Market: General Outline

The relational form of database ruled the information technology or IT sector in the last few decades. The last few years have witnessed a paradigm shift in the database management systems where dedicated servers were eventually replaced with dedicated storage server networks. With the ubiquitous usage of internet, cloud databases such as SimpleDB and Sherpa have gained popularity in the last couple of years. Storage plays an important role in data centers. In a traditional networked data storage, the data is stored in a single dedicated server whereas in cloud databases the respective data is stored within multiple dynamic servers.

Cloud database allows accessing of information at any point of time and from any place. Database as a service (DBaaS) allows the user to store data at a remote disk which is available through the internet. Cloud computing, the need for improved and efficient broadband facility, the advent of digital data, and shifting data storage requirements have led to the emergence of cloud database and DBaaS. Cloud databases aid in storing the colossally generated data by web based application. The cloud database and DBaaS market caters to many sectors such as government, healthcare, banking, hospitality, media and entertainment, e-commerce and insurance sector among others.

Global Cloud Database and Database as a Service (DBaaS) Market: Drivers and Inhibitors

The chief driver of the growth of the global cloud database and DBaaS market is the burgeoning use of cloud service for critical data storage. Driven by numerous factors such as availability, cost saving, seamless integration, upgradation, and flexibility, increasing number of companies are transferring data on cloud. Cloud database and DBaaS provide monetary advantages over conventional storage methods. Companies from heathcare, banking and insurance sector among others are located far off and are largely dependent on their websites. Hence, such companies choose cloud storage to decrease the cost of operations and thus increase productivity. Cloud databases are progressively used in non-traditional sectors such as social networking, online music stores, and online gaming among others. Moreover, due to the growing flexibility needs and increasing data traffic, numerous government departments such as finance, insurance, and defense are adopting cloud service.

In spite of the strong growth drivers and surging trends, the major restraint for cloud database and DBaaS market is the growing criticality of data in cloud. Awareness about cloud security is comparatively low. The rising use of cloud databases have led to a rise in cloud attacks where users data is compromised, thus leading to identity theft. Moreover, the dearth of proper security standards for cloud database is also likely to act as a hindrance. At present, cloud platforms offer very little support for the purpose of database design related to virtual enhancement. With technological advances on boards, it is expected to provide opportunity for designing databases specific private clouds for large enterprises.

Global Cloud Database and Database as a Service (DBaaS) Market: Regional Overview

Geographically, North America is the chief revenue generator for this market closely followed by Western European countries such as Germany, France and the U.K. The dominance of North America can be attributed to the presence of large enterprises. Asia Pacific is anticipated to aggressively adopt cloud database and DBaaS solutions in the near future. This is basically due to the increasing focus by small, medium, and large scale enterprises for the purpose of improving efficiency and productivity via investment in technology.

Global Cloud Database and Database as a Service (DBaaS) Market: Companies Covered in the Report

The key players in the cloud database and DBaaS market are Microsoft Corporation, Oracle Corporation, IBM, Amazon, Google Inc, Century Link Inc, Rackspace, SAP AG and Salesforce.com among others.

Applebee’s to open Monday in Jasper – Daily Mountain Eagle

Post author By Dr Hoster
Post date September 12, 2020

Applebee's Grill + Bar will open in Jasper next Monday, Sept. 14.

The long-anticipated restaurant will open its doors at 11 a.m. on Monday, offering dine-in, takeout, and third-party delivery.

It was announced that Applebee's would be opening a restaurant in Jasper in June 2019, and construction occurred over the past few months.

"Were excited to bring Applebees to the Jasper neighborhood, and to offer the community the chance to enjoy our great quality and fresh food with the speed and convenience of a casual dining restaurant, Rick Houser, Quality Restaurant Concepts/Applebees Vice President of Operations, said in a press release to the Daily Mountain Eagle.

Quality Restaurant Concepts, based in Birmingham, is the franchise operator for Jasper's Applebee's and operates 60 Applebee's locations in Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, and Kentucky.

Restaurant managers are still hiring for multiple positions at the Jasper location, including bartender, carside specialist, cook, dishwasher, host, server, and sanitation specialist. To apply, visit https://www.applebees.com/en/you-belong-here.

The Daily Mountain Eagleoriginally reported in September 2019, that the restaurant could accommodate the hiring of 130 employees.

A ribbon-cutting for the restaurant will be held on Saturday, but Applebee's will not open to the public until Monday, Sept. 14.

Jasper's Applebee's is one of few new restaurants across the country that has opened among the global COVID-19 pandemic; however, Applebee's is staying committed to keeping customers and employees as safe as possible.

The restaurant will be following state guidelines by opening at 50 percent capacity. In addition, 6-foot social distancing will be observed, and the Applebee's bar will be operating at reduced capacity.

"Applebee's is an industry leader in casual dining, and our cleaning and disinfecting procedures are the best. I think people will notice that almost immediately when they walk in," Wade Crawford, director of marketing for Quality Restaurant Concepts, told the Daily Mountain Eagle. "We have a person that is dedicated to sanitation now. It's a new position in the company. Every restaurant has a person, and their only job for the day is to sanitize."

The Applebee's menu offers something for everyone, from steaks, ribs, and burgers to chicken, seafood, and pasta. Salads, sandwiches, and desserts are also offered.

Applebee's offers affordable menu options, such as a standard special where two can dine for $22. That includes two entrees and an appetizer.

A kid's menu is also available.

Jasper Mayor David O'Mary said he is delighted to welcome Applebee's to the city of Jasper.

"It should be a nice boost for the retail side of our economy," he said.

According to data from March 31, 2020, over 1,700 Applebee's locations were in all 50 states, with restaurants also in Puerto Rico, Guam, and 13 other countries. Crawford said the Jasper Applebee's will be the 61st Applebee's restaurant operated by Quality Restaurant Concepts.

More than 3500 electronic wristband devices issued to travellers serving stay-home notices: ICA – CNA

Post author By Dr Hoster
Post date September 12, 2020

SINGAPORE: More than 3,500 electronic wristband devices have been issued to travellers serving stay-home notices since Aug 10, said the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) on Saturday (Sep 12).

Under current rules, travellers enteringSingapore and servingstay-home notices outside of dedicated facilities are required to wear the devices. This initiative has been in place for slightly more thana month.

It applies to all travellers including Singaporeans, permanent residents, long-term pass holders, work pass holders and their dependents, said ICA, Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and Ministry of Education (MOE) previously.

Only those aged 12 and below areexempt.

At Singapores checkpoints, eligible travellers are issued both the electronic wristband device and a gateway device after immigration clearance.

They are required to wear the wristband for the entirety of their stay-home notice periodand install the gateway device at their place of residence.

Speaking to reporters, Deputy Assistant Commissioner (DAC) Tan Hoe Koon, who is deputy director of ICA's intelligence division, said that as Singapores borders reopen, ICA expects the number of travellers served with stay-home notices to rise.

A total of 162,668 stay-home notices have been issued by ICA as of 8am on Sep 12, of which 14,053 are active, said ICA.

"As our borders re-open, we will expect more people returning and being served with stay-home notices. As this number increases, we need to manage our resources and the electronic monitoring deviceallows us to monitor the stay-home notice enforcement regime more effectively,"he said.

Previously, enforcement efforts centredaround sending daily SMS texts, and making audio and video calls, said DAC Tan. Home visits were also conducted at least every alternate day.

But with the electronic monitoring regime, the checks are only done shortly after these travellers return to Singapore to ensure that they have registered the devices successfully and have put on their wristbands properly and securely, said DAC Tan.

Officers conduct subsequent visits onlyas and when necessary, or if theysuspect that stay-home notice requirements are violated,he added.

"It is less reliant on manpower ... when the number of persons we serve with stay-home notices increases with the reopening of our borders, the same number of resources can be used to manage a bigger group of persons served with stay-home notices,"said DAC Tan.

The wristband and gateway device communicate with each other via Bluetooth, and the gateway device sends signals to the back-end server of ICA.

The users phone also sends GPS signals to the server. Should the individual leave the home, the GPS signals on the users phone will indicate to ICA officers roughly where the person is.

"We look at the data coming into the system, particularly any alerts triggered ... Any attempts to leave theplace of residence or tamper with their electronic devices will trigger an alert to our ICA system, after which we'll conduct our follow up investigations,"explained assistant superintendent (ASP) Zhang Chengyao, who is an analyst.

These follow-ups can be in the form of calls, but officers can also conduct house visits to make sure nothing is amiss.

Since the implementation of the scheme, DAC Tan said a few "technical issues"have been flagged. Most of the time, the issues relate to the reception at the individual's place of residence, he said.

Roughly5 per cent to 10 per cent of those issued the wristbandshave experienced such technical or connectivity problems, noted DAC Tan.

"We do experience a few PSHNs (persons placed on stay-home notices) who may be at locations that have poorer reception. Sotheir devices may have intermittent connectivity issues,"he said.

"So when there are connectivity issues and we are not able to receive the data, there will be alerts (sent) ... But when we call them,they actually are at home, and we do realise that they are facing some connectivity issues with the devices. And we will actually advise them on how to place their (gateway) devices in a more ideal situation in the residence, so that the signal (and the) reception can be improved."

After serving their stay-home notice, travellers have to deactivate the device and dispose of it or return it.

Those who are caught flouting the stay-home notice requirements or tampering with the device may be fined up to S$10,000 and jailed up to six months.

For foreigners, authorities may take "further administrative actions", such as revoking or shortening the validity of permits and passes to remain or work in Singapore.

Free Tour de France live stream of Stage 14 and 15: watch the cycling online from anywhere – GamesRadar+

Post date September 12, 2020

Tired of missing the action? We've got everything you need to catch a free Tour de France live stream to watch stages 14 and 15 this weekend before the event's final rest day on Monday. There are still plenty of races left and you could be all set up to watch Tour de France online within minutes.

Adam Yates from the UK is currently hanging in still at seventh, but it's Primo Rogli currently holding the yellow jersey going into this weekend's stages. With France currently facing a large number of new coronavirus cases, the whole Tour de France seems balanced on a knife-edge. Hopefully, things will improve across the country soon, but the Tour is currently on track to finish September 20 in Paris. But there's no guarantee that the peloton will reach the capital on schedule.

Cycling's biggest event will be teetering on the edge of cancellation throughout, and that makes proceedings very exciting indeed. The uncertainty could wreak havoc on team tactics, and tempt the riders to make a dash to the top of the general classification standings as quickly as possible.

Tour de France at a glance

The 2020 Tour de France started August 29 and will finish nearly a month later, on September 20. Remarkably, the riders will be competing on all but two of those days, and cycling fans based in the UK can tune in to all stages for free via ITV4 and ITV Hub.

If you're not from the UK, there are plenty of other Tour de France broadcasters around the world. And if you're outside of the UK, you can try this VPN deal, which will let you tap into ITV's coverage.

Making matters even more unpredictable is the fact that the riders' preparations have been far from perfect, due to the disruption that the pandemic has wreaked on the racing calendar.

This may have played a part in Team Ineos' decision to not use former Tour de France winners Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas. The 23-year-old Colombian Egan Bernal is the undisputed main man instead and is indeed in the chasing pack.

Road cycling is unlike most other sports, in that it goes out into the public, and there will indeed be fans lining the roads for this Tour de France. It all adds to the sense of peril surrounding the entire event.

No matter where you are, here's how to live stream the 2020 Tour de France for free online.

ITVITV is showing the 2020 Tour de France for free in the UK, and you can watch all of the action on TV on ITV4 or live stream it through ITV Hub without paying a penny.
