  • 20 mins of adverts.. ITV you are a disgrace to broadcasting

  • speaking of itv adverts ... the target groupe for the highlights really worries me: '40 over 40' what happend to good old Nutella

  • GOD! FUCK OFF WITH THE ADVERTS!

    I haven't seen a single bike for the last 30 mins! it bombs out sending me back to the preceeding ads!
    it's not rocket science you layman fuckwits! fuck it i know the head of operations down there i am calling him before i go postal.. the other option is to do some work but Mmm that isn't floating my boat

  • The TV helicopters have been grounded by the weather, so I'm not sure if there is any coverage at the moment for ITV to show.

  • Oh dear, Hushovd is going to get slapped by the KOM riders.

  • eurosport ftw

  • Thor is awesome.

  • Cuddles is having a bad day. Nice to see his team are supporting him. Not.

  • Use the direct mms:// stream from steephill.tv if you can - way more reliable than the shitty Silverlight player on the ITV site.

    Hushovd with KOM points on a cat 1. That's... unexpected. Good on 'im.

  • Fuck only knows what's up with Evans - every day seems to be the worst day ever for him this year.

  • Ha ha ha. Evans and Cavendish off the back. I want to hear the live feed from that conversation.

  • God how come you guys are having such a bad time with the ITV player?

    It is rock-solid with a commercial break of two minutes every 15 minutes or so which I mute.
    It is just like TV.

    Steephill was a necessary evil when it wasn't shown live in this country but really the stream isn't that great.

    Using Firefox on XP here at work.

  • Because it's written in MS's immature Flash-clone. It should, probably, work in Moonlight on this Linux box, but it doesn't for whatever reason and in any case it's way more convenient to use mplayer and not have it tied to the other 30-odd browser tabs I have open. The stream itself is mms:// and coming from itv4's content delivery network, so is in all probability the identical same one underlying the web player.

    Thinking about it, if I'd thought of it I could probably use mplayer's stream-dumping functions to make a recording too :-)

  • Ha, Thor just did a nice 'i'm keeping this jersey' gesture to the cameras

  • That descent the Peloton did a few minutes ago, going over a viaduct looked fucking superb.

  • Thor seems like he is so fucked off with Cavendish that he has decided to end the green jersey competition once and for all today. Good on him I say

  • Agreed - fair play to Thor

  • Odds on him breaking and crying on Colombiere? Would be funny if he overcooked and ended up running out of time before getting to Paris.

  • always hated cav's 'i just like the colour' bullshit.

    let's not even talk about the phone celebration again.

  • +1

    Go Thor.

    And I've just heard that Cervélo is Canadian. I can be nationalistic too now!

  • That was sketchy.

  • Yeah - good chats on Eurosport - get that back end out Thor!

  • Thor nearly took a shortcut down.

  • Quality bike handling there by Thor. Good ride today for him, his strategy for keeping the jersey requires some serious HTFU.

    Green rims though? Fucking hipster.
