CAN'T WAIT

TDF greatest moments on itv4 NOW.

Thanks mister smyth

Gutted! Doesn't look like it's repeated either. Was it any good?

it was o.k. usual tour moments like armstrongs 'look' and fignon losing by seconds.
no pantani and no horses running down the road though.

did that dog get run over again?

Premature victory celebration ftw!

Milano-San Remo, but hey:

And this at Paris-Tours, before they were teammates:

did that dog get run over again?

no unfortunately not. no devil man either.

Im looking forward to Sean Kelly overusing the word 'certuntly' every few minutes, on every peice of coverage for the next 3 weeks its like some form of hybrid tourettes, that never gets tired.

Also, I've decided to let the hate go regarding old bum face Evans, his style in the Dauphine Libere has me now supporting him. Hes got to win it this year Vive le convict!

It would be nice. I'm gonna be throwing epo sprinkles at all the other contenders while I'm there. :)

Better Evans than the rest of that lot. Unfortunately, he doesn't stand a chance. :(

no unfortunately not. no devil man either.

And no 'I cut your head off, Salut!' or headbutting or punching because someone touched his lion, or the Badger chucking the protester off the podium. Oh, last year was so much fun!

No Pantani though is an awful omission IMHO.

I assume they included the Tashkent Terror and Jalabert crashes.

Jesus, so looking forward to this year's edition.

It was the same programme they played at the end of last year's edition - and really good.

Roll on 2.30 !!!!!!

Any pubs going to have this on? I feel like some pints of beer.

Boonen is in the tour!
hopefully lots of 'chat' between him and cavendish and some class sprinting.
what with the francophile lance, his bum pal levi and contador (not forgetting brunyeel. would love to be fly on the wall in those team meetings) a few press conference appearances by lemond or kimmage and the public breakdown as Tubbs spirals into his self made psycosis of the nearly man it's going to be right corker.
not forgetting the actual racing.

Casual homophobia is so last century...

Eurosport stream is here.

James Richardson doing a decent job as anchor. "You could say the result [of the EPO test] has blackened Dekker's name."
