Come on, there's clearly a massive 2m climb at the end - that'll really test the riders...

Should I be watching on ITV4 or Eurosport? Tried both earlier this year and they both seem to annoy me for some reason!
You joke but I did a week long race in holland when I was 14 and one stage was a hill climb.




It was a bridge over a motorway!

If we did a league table of commentators, Phil & Paul should be bottom, Carlton Kirby & Kelly second from bottom.

When ITV can finally bin off those 2 dinosaurs their coverage will be fantastic, as everyone else is the very best at what they do.

Ok then, for those who'd like league is NSC Geeks. Code is 02222138

I see from the list of scroll down kits you can choose there is Lewes Wanderers and even a CPFC (eek), but no Albion.

Quick bounce for the NSC fantasy tour de France league. Deadline for entering a team is 2pm today I think.

The more the merrier.

On the premise that someone said this is transfer free, gave up these years ago after American Footy and UK Footy ones took over me spare time, I am trying to join.

When I try to register it won't accept a user name, any ideas what I am doing wrong (see already its taking over)

Cheers, easy to change to the jersey I wore for my one and only etape, London to Canterbury to the shouts all along of come on 'Marmite Man', still got beaten by 10 minutes by Mark Wright (the shame), he was stopping and chatting all the way as well and reckoned he had never ridden a bike before.

Lars Boom DOES start, the medical infraction is only covered by a voluntary code so Astana (Vino) saying no rules are broken so Boom starts. Not a great support of the sport ethics.

Very quickly I'm going to get very titsy about palace having a team and jersey, and us not.

How can we rectify this?

What about S4C?

Is it in Welsh? If so, it will merely enhance the experience for those of us who always wonder: "What the hell are the commentators talking about?"

I believe ITV4 always has the best commentators (all stations have to take the same French TV footage) Stat Brother will argue Eurosport are slightly better.

However ITV4 has loads of commercial breaks - that will drive you nuts

Cav and the beard about to go, just don't fall off on the first stage again.

The good thing about it being on both channels is that you can channel hop when the adverts are on (they're rarely at the same time) and not miss a thing.

Rohan Dennis sets a brilliant time. I really hope he doesn't win the stage, Stat will be unbearable.
