c’est (almost) parti !

How is everybody watching this? I'm outside of the UK and the local broadcaster is showing in a language I have zero understanding of.

Assumed Eurosport+ due to messages in this chat, but the Indy tells me it is on ITV (which seems easier for me and free).

Yeah it's on itv4 from 10:45, highlights show is at 19:00.

Seemingly no chat about MVdP having a pop today? Is he off the boil, or strictly there for lead-out?

Good to see Mr Blythe keeping up the Northern Man way of dressing. #whiteshirtswithbitson

The 2024 championship for British man who can pronounce European names with the most authentic accent have begun!!

Sean Kelly is already disqualified.

The mega outward cant on the new sram levers...
They'll be running moustache bars soon

I think it depends very much on how the stage is ridden. It's got over 3000 metres of climbing, so if UAE decide to make it hard to test out Vingegaard from the off, then MVDP likely won't be in contention for the win.

Hate the VLAB jerseys already

I've missed ITV4 adverts.

Funeral planning, stairlifts, donkey sanctuaries etc?

I guess it won't be ridden like MSR. But similar climbing. Generally though he's not been hyped up at all?

Lasted until 12.22pm, then had to switch over to French commentary.

About the gist of it. Did get me looking at Viking river cruises with the aim of befriending a rich old couple who will include me in their will but way too pricey unfortunately.

a rich old couple who will include me in their will

This is in the adverts??

Nominative determinism can be a right bastard at times.

Cav blown

is he hungover?

He's gonna be timed out on the first stage if he's not careful. Crikey.

the king must intervene. or led by donky

Think today will result in at least 10 not starting tomorrow.

Heat seems unreasonable

Cav pulling an absolute Biden of a performance here
