    Arrrgg bloody itv producers gone to adverts just as leaders reach the climb!

    ITV hates sport. It’s the only explanation, as football coverage is the same.

    *switches over to Eurosport*

    The Yorkshire tourist board must have very sore hands, what with all the Hi-5s they must be giving each other, every time there is an aerial shot of the countryside in the sunshine.

    ITV is now regaling cheese facts.

    Going to be a long Tour.

    I thought it was going to be David Millar commentating. As soon as Liggett came on it was straight to Eurosport.

    Fantastic crowds (despite the gloom forecast by the Wiggins Whingers).

    Arm warmers may not be worn with pants alone. Has he not read the roolz?

    In Canada. As soon as I realized who was rambling the mute button was pressed… where can I find a knowledgeable text feed on the web to back up the pictures?

    In Hong Kong, we have Sean Kelly. He was undoubtedly a fantastic bike rider, and he is now just as undoubtedly a bleedin’ awful commentator!

    This is brilliant !

    ALl I’d have asked for is dry weather, a barking mad longshot from Jens (and a sprint win for Cav – though a lone win by Jens would be even better IMO now even if there’s no chance)

    Fingers crossed for either

    One thing I just cant get my head round is this obsession with filming on a mobile phone?

    Wait hours for the riders to come past and then not actually see it because you are peering through a phone screen ??!

    Mobile is just about OK but put the f’in Ipads away! Holding up an A4 bit of paper for the memories..

    Surely there is nothing more to add?

    World’s best riders.

    Amazing roads.

    Great crowds.

    Great weather.

    Jens off the front.

    Does it get any better than this? Oh yes, Cav for yellow in Harrogate. Think that’s a tall order unfortunately but it would be nice.

    That annoying moment when itv and eurosport’s ad breaks sync, so you can’t just flick between the two for unbroken coverage.

    Gonna be some big time differences before the race gets to France at this rate. Then they hit the cobbles. Interesting 3 weeks ahead.

    We are watching in Asia on Eurosport and have Carlton Kirby and Sean Kelly. Wonder why the different countries that take an English language feed use different commentators?

    Carlton and Sean on Eurosport UK and Eurosport round the world I believe

    Tragic for Cav. would’ve been magic if he’d taken yellow

    Cav caused the accident leaning on him

    Definitely Cav’s fault.

    Hope not but doesn’t look good. Don’t think it was really anbody’s fault just a racing accident
