You mean like the BBC?
The same channel that started their round up of the Tour on the 10 o'clock news last night with the line:
"Paris they say is the capital city of romance. But nothing can have done more to dull the French love affair with cycling than the sight of an Englishman pedalling up the Champs Elysees to claim the final stage of the Tour de France."
Hackneyed, factually incorrect (Cav ain't english) and a gross injustice to perhaps the most successful Tour for British riders ever.
