Have been watching S4C (on freesat which is broadcast in HD, unlike itv4) with the sound off (sadly have zero knowledge of Welsh) and then listening to the itv commentary. Has worked well. Except for the couple of stages where s4c decided to broadcast some kind of rural show instead of the tour.
Zerostar-
S4C does have the advantage of being commentated by Perry Ap Gwynedd aka guitarist in Pendulum and general awesome session player. A few years back he was working the tour stages for S4C but also bikepacking between them, and playing with Faithless some evenings. Though not being able to understand what he’s saying does make the whole thing less enlightening I’ll admit

It did actually briefly cross my mind that he is quite good at ad-libbing nonsense and I wondered if he had planned some of it - but then I was distracted.
I shouldn't complain though, so let me frame my thoughts in a more positive way - the ITV4 coverage has been, and is consistently superb, and I'm very grateful for it. Ned Boulting is great, I have to admit that Millar is really good too, and Pete Kennaugh has got loads better as well.
