The UCI have fined Julien Bernard for damaging the image of the sport after he stopped during the TT today to hug his wife and child.

What a bellend.

Does look like a pretty mad situation to be fair. https://www.eurosport.com/cycling/tour-de-france/2024/tour-de-france-the-gendarmes-were-in-panic-julien-bernard-mobbed-by-home-fans-in-unforgettable-moment_vid2174927/video.shtml

I’m surprised that there are a bunch of wires on display over the head tube cap. Might not loose any watts, but for aesthetics sake, looks…amateur?

Classic UCI.

If you look at the 9th pic, captioned Elbow cups..., it looks like a cover has been removed.

Orla said it was one of her highlights of the tour so far!

Then telling the comm's it was a crosswind wind gust...

Hahahaha that looks terrible for everyone until the family arrive.

A likely story!

And probably true.

We can all admit that’s not a usable bottle it’s a fairing

ITV website showing fuck all. Think I'll just be watching highlights from now on.

Not sure what the issue is?! I'm half way around the world and managing to watch live on ITV4 fine. Only problem is the relentless life insurance and cremation services adverts.

Dunno, we refreshed, we searched, we knew it was live because letour was telling us and yet nothing on ITVx updated to show the current stage. It wasn't until we tried again with like 17min of the stage left that we finally got TDF in the list of "live" shows. Yet, the stage still didn't show up in their ITVCycling page(s). I was going to try and avoid Disco+ but it looks like there's no alternative.

Itv is just adverts, Bro. You gotta invest.

Adverts for funeral services>>>>>actually dying>>>>>>>>>>>>>Adam Blythe

Live coverage starts at 12 today on ITV4.

And to find it, just click 'live' at the top, select ITV4 on the right and click watch live (or restart if you want to watch it from the beginning).

On itvx? I was abroad last week and it was telling me I'm outside the UK and couldn't watch the content

VPN?

Mads Pedersen is not going to start today, presumably due to the injuries he received when he crashed on Stage 5.

VPN/other sources...

Lol, I know what a vpn is and went and watched it in bars, the point was someone else saying the app was working for them with no issues abroad
