Cheesus...
It look absolutely bonkers when he took off.

Cavendish 10th today, behind Sam Bennett who won. Massive crash inside the final km.

Meanwhile @taogeogheganhart is on the attack in the Tour de Suisse. 30 seconds up on the peloton with less than 20kms to go.

anyone got a decent link for criterium du dauphine catch-ups?
pref 30+mins per stage eurosport in english but anything really.

CN ones on youtube, but only show about 5 mins. :(

YouTube seems to have most stages as far as I can see.

Or Eurosport is 30 quid for the rest of the year. Nae bad.

whatever happened to the good old days when you could find five hours of kirby and kelly per stage?

(don't worry, btw... I'm not sat on a sofa in this nice weather, i'm self employed and just want some background noise / gibberish!)

are they the 5min ones or have you find longer ones?

Well now, THAT is what I call a result.
cheers @WillMelling : )

Surprised more people don't know about tiz. They had some difficulty during the Giro, site being taken down, Twitter account suspended but when it's working it's invaluable.

livestreams are under attack since eurosport is the 'home of cycling'

Legends like Kirby don't come cheap, y'know. If they had Imlach as well I'd pay whatever they wanted.

You spelt bellend wrong.

sorry

'Legends like Kirby' is an oxymoron, surely.

Australia have binned Liggett and Sherwen as live commentators for SBS TDF commentary after ITV 4 did last year, only USA left now I think?

I think Tony Gibb rivals our Carlton for uselessness as commentator.

Kirby > Ligitt

Everyone else > Kirby

I like Kirby, he cracks me up.

Is he going to be doing the TDF commentary? Eurosport's coverage of the Giro is the way forward surely.

I especially love the casual racism.

oh dear, what's he said?

Eurosport's coverage of the Giro is the way forward surely.

Never again please, in my case (and I daresay most of my fellow cycling fans in Netherlands and Belgium). I hope next year Sporza (Belgian national tv sports division) will buy the rights again like they did up to this year, and I will e-mail Dutch national broadcasting to suggest a joint bid. Great commentary, no commercial breaks.

It's more xenophobia than racism, but he makes lots of snide comments about the French, the Spanish, the Italians, any other nationality he wants to belittle.

As I've said before, I guarantee Carlton voted for Brexit.
