Tour de France 2013

Certainly.

Why not just watch it on Eurosport HD?

Same picture stream surely, and don't ITV show more adverts?

This is fucking boring.
Sprinters stages are crap.

Rolling stages or mountains. Or Mountain Time trials for the ultimate stage.

That final 500m should be fun though. Cav in yellow perhaps

Yes. It's going to be HECTIC.

oh and as for it being boring, enjoy the scenery, the bikes and the kit and play the drinking game

10 quid on A schleck at 44-1. Worth a punt?

Cadel at 40-1 was better. Has Andy finished a race yet this year?

ITV is for fucking simple folk who don't have Eurosport, really.

ftfy :)

Corsica looks lovely.

ITV4 picture quality on Freeview is terrible, I'm flipping between it and Eurosport non-HD on a BT box as the ad breaks are staggered and it looks like ITV4 are broadcasting a hooky internet stream.

I know that in the UK that stuff like Benadryl is banned in competitive cycling.

Is it?

I can't see Diphenhydramine on the list:

Jerome Cousin's setup looks really odd - the transition from bar to hood is anything but flat, with the STIs rotated really forward on the bars.

Received wisdom suggests that this is not the best way to do this.

So what's the deal here then?

He likes it?

Certain*t*ly.

Eurosport HD much nicer than ITV footage.

ITV managed to get the picture turned onto its side at one point.

That was probably the tour feed.

I'm loving the historic facts for Corsica - I've spent the last year and a bit doing a bit of research on the island's history (google Theodor Stephan Freiherr von Neuhoff if you want to read a interesting story - with a bit of a London connection) and really hoped to visit this summer (at one point). This is almost as good.

At least twice now...

Leopard Trek on Wyndy Milla bikes then? Trek know fugly

Eurosport HD much nicer than ITV footage.

Yes. Free Sky HD turned up just in time.

Cav did't turn on the taps fully for that methinks

Agree he held back. Waiting for yellow

Go Gossy!

:)

Cav is a sandbagger.

I find it difficult to follow what irish fella is saying on eurosport, makes me very sleepy.

Sean Kelly doesn't care for criticism.

Honey badger?
