The five major ocean gyres. A gyre in oceanography is any large system of circulating ocean currents, particularly those involved with large wind movements. Gyres are caused by the Coriolis effect; planetary vorticity along with horizontal and vertical friction, determine the circulation patterns from the wind curl (torque).
Velogames Fantasy Cycling has been providing fantasy cycling contests since 1997. The centrepiece event is the Velogames Fantasy Tour de France, which attracted almost 40,000 teams in 2015.
The 102nd edition of the race takes 198 of the world's best cyclists over 2,000 miles. They'll race from Utrecht, the Netherlands, around France, and then finish in Paris three weeks later. The best way we know of to watch the Tour de France from the US is on NBC Sports' live stream. Note, we don't have cable TV â we're cord cutters â so we're watching the Tour on a laptop. We just bought the Full Tour Access option for $29.99. That gives you every stage of the race live in HD on your computer.
