It starts today. Something to get the oldest away from the football at last! 😀
Come on Froome let's have a winner again.
If I've missed the main thread mods please delete.
I think the start is delayed while they are all trying to decide what tyres for France...
Michelin surely?
Looking forward to the next few weeks.
Be nice to see Cav in yellow this afternoon.............
It would be nice... But l can't see it
Cav has never beaten Kittel in the TdF
Cav's had a wonderful career but the "kids" are better, the days of him being the favourite in a head to head are gone imho.
GC... Go on then, l'll say Quintana for the sake of argument
But really looking forward to seeing a, ultimately, also-ran hold yellow for half a dozen days.... A breakway win by a courageous domestique... A frenchman winning on Bastil day... And hearing ITV4's theme tune
I'd still not bet against him and I'd like to see how the team shape up for him.

coverage from 11am and highlights everyday at 7pm.
From what I've seen it looks like a lot of others teams (who weren't really in contention) would scupper Cavs chances or break off.
Anyone else find if they watch the first few days get really into it, but if you miss those few days it's a bit harder to get into? Or is that just me?
I can't see past Froome, but he's got to be stronger in week 3
Be surprised if cav gets a stage tbh, not really focused on the road this year, and he'll probably only do half the race. But you never know, he's still quality, so might be lucky.
The fact the broadcast starts about 11pm kill it for me, doubled up with the Ashes last year which has was a killer
I'm going for Quintana too.

Never mind, it gives them more time to charge the batteries for the motors.
Has anyone compared the route with the map of Tesla superchargers?
Is there a velogames league this year? Can't find one on here
Froome to fall off and break his elbow.. G to step up and make it a Wales double
ITV4 or eurosport?

Eurosport. I'd only watch ITV4 with the sound turned off.
Sherwin and Liggot are gone arent they?

Yup Boulting and Millar are the new team, feels odd but refreshing.
Shame about Bouhanni. I wonder how the wind will affect todays stage. Looking at the map they'll turn into it with about 30km to go so I'm expecting Cancellara or Tony Martin to try to tear the bunch apart.
It's wrong without Phil.
Hey, where's the daily preview thread?
It's wrong without Phil.
It really isn't. He was dreadful, been getting steadily worse for a decade. Same tired old clichés and his cycling expertise was stuck in about 2003.
Millar can read a race like no-one else on earth, he was probably the best road captain in the world and although he can't quite translate to a true commentary just yet he's certainly well on the way and his insights, predictions and ability to understand the race have brought a welcome new dimension to it without resorting to suitcases of courage and a job of work!
Jebus the charity ads are killing me. Poor donkeys 🙁
Thank ****. Finally, finally, something pleasant to distract me from all the horrific and worrying shit that keeps happening.
Podium will be Froome, Quintana, Contador, unless Froome falls off, which I reckon is 50/50. Sagan in green but with Kittel winning the most stages. Prediciting polka-dots is a mugs game but I'll go for Bardet.
Cav to win today, what the hell, I reckon we're about due some good news. (Probably be Kittel, though.) 😀

I like them, but I still prefer Sean Kelly making tha calculation for the live commentary (and I like Carlton personally, he's amusingly enthusiastic). Glad to see the back of Liggett, sad to say it but he was getting painful to listen to. ITV4 for the highlights and post stage analysis though, Imlach and Boardman are ace.
I agree about Millar, although Ned Boulting's correct but ostentatious pronunciation of foreign words makes him a tough listen
Carlton as commentator with Millar, Kelly and Backstedt on some sort of rotation (or a panel !) for my ideal coverage

I wonder if you can bet on litres of p!ss thrown?
Isn't there a darts match somewhere for Ned to waffle on about? Dropping Phil and Paul for him and Millar is beyond tragic IMO...

They just came back to my feed 🙂 just cutting between TdF and a hung parliament election 🙂
No Phil and Paul. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Miller has all the charisma of a turd. His monotone commentary on the Tour of Yorkshire was bad enough but on the Tour? Dear Lord!
Does anyone know how I can access SBS in Australia for their live coverage from here in the UK?
Sanny
Whaa ? Did I hear that right - Bouhanni out becuase he's injured his hand in a scrap !? 😯 😆
Quite a tense finish this, no-one really taking it on and only 6km to go...
Sherwin and Liggot are gone arent they?
Yup, replaced by the dullest commentary duo in the world. Their Dauphine coverage was dire. Carlton & Sean for me 🙂
GET IN!!!
well he can still sprint
What a great finish! Hope people not too battered from the crash.

and who is wearing yellow in the morning 🙂
GET IN. 😀 😀 😀
Yay! go Cav 😀
Result!
Good on Cav,he's finally got the jersey!
That crash looked bad,I hope they all managed to get back up 😯
You beauty!!
My heart said Cav.
My office sweepstake draw would have preferred Kittel.
😉
Oh yea of little faith Jamba & Ro5ey. Superb finish.
oooyah, that crash looked awful 🙁
