Cycling on Television (TV)

Good god. I'm watching the Tabago Classic on ESPN at the moment. It's like a (badly) made televised Surrey Road race.

The entire race has just made a wrong turn straight into a big yellow road digger.. It's fuckin hilarious.

Tour of Oman highlights followed by live Tour of Andalusia on Eurosport today

Still at the Tabago Classic. It's actually worse than a Surrey league race. Crashes everywhere.

The race has just had to deal with a massed marching band on the course.. Honest. You couldn't make it up.

The, merican, commentary is sooooooooo dramatic

The recent British Cyclocross Championships are on Eurosport now.

I finally got to watch this. It was pretty good.

Tabago Classic sounds like good entertainment.

Is the cyclocross available anywhere to watch?

I nearly stayed up to watch the Tobago Classic, decided against it.

Wish I had now.

BBC2 Northern Ireland are showing the Giro live on Friday for the time trial and also the finish of Saturdays race.
Don't know if there is an option to see BBC NI on cable or satellite boxes outside NI?
Also not sure who's doing the coverage, but think Jill Douglas is involved.

Cycling the Dales Sky2 now.

Faceplant!

Oh they've just said helmet helped.. It didn't help her ducking face as it smacked into the footpath. What a pile of shit.

channel 4 news just had a good report now

Armstrong Lie on C4 now...

Some nice old footage from the vaults by the look of it, only 5min in but good so far.

Strgulling to decide what's btter for Tour coverage out of ITV4 and Eurosport.

The ITV4 commentary is a lot better than I remembered, but when I watch ITV4 I do miss Kelly's drawling and Kirby's gibberings of nonsense somewhat....

Sunday in Hell on BBC4. There goes my early night.

No way. Awesome. That's tomorrow night sorted then.

At the other end of the pain scale (hopefully) my band Elvers doing the music for this Visit Englad Ad for "Rise england" currently on your tellybox:

Njau, Froome's first coach is up..

I only caught bits.

Of what I saw Dowsett was the only rider who took the (frankly fucking obvious to an office chair critic) wide line through the final two turns, staying seated and quicker on the extensions down the finish straight.

Bloody noobs.

1 Way Up - Peckham BMX is on MTV right now.

Just watching a show called Everyday Miracles on the iPlayer. Has a history of the bike, and an explanation/demonstration of how carbon fibre works. Not a bad show in general.

Slaying the Badger, the film based on Richard Moore's excellent book about the rivalry between Hinault and Lemond in the 1986 Tour, is on ITV4 in 15 minutes.
