The ITV4 coverage of the TDF is exactly the same as the old C4 coverage. Gary Imlach presenting (sometimes accompanied by Chris Boardman) and Phil & Paul in the commentary box trying to out do each other with superlatives. They show highlights every night at a good time and go live with the big stages and at weekends. I agree with the earlier posts about Helly & Harmon on Eurosport, during the Giro, Harmon twice called the stage winner wrong culminating in him having a bit of a twitter meltdown in response to the abuse he was getting.

A professor has found after extensive research there are two sizes of penis amongst UK men. There are those which fall within which fall within the normal size range and those which are less than two inches while erect. The professor has appealed for help to continue his research. Could all men in the UK with extremely small penises make themselves known over the next two weeks by flying a white flag with a red cross from their cars.

It's 50-50 in support between the Tour and the World Cup. Anyone else want to vote?

There are 21 Scot/Welsh/Irish people in this club who would rather watch the TDF than the World Cup. Sour grapes.

Two people ride very very slowly at 15rpm. The one in front, a smarmy wannabe model takes the others drink, has a bit, pours it on his head, then throws the rest away. The other very very slow rider looks a bit annoyed. The End.
Nice clip.

World Cup when England or anyone in their group is playing plus I tend to get a bit caught up in the Pub atmosphere when it is on.

TdF when I get home from work though and watch either the recorded coverage from Eurosport or the ITV 1 hr programme.

I will tick the TdF box though as I would rather watch the whole of this...

Green's simply thwarting off interest so that he remains at West Ham next season. Cool

Unfortunately the mistake will be remembered when in fact England were really toothless in attack. Lennon did his best impression of Walcott, demonstrating a lack of end product when he was in many good positions. Rolling Eyes Heskey's lack of composure has to be questioned too. His inclusion gets the best out of Rooney, but as Rooney drops deep, it crowds the space which the likes of Gerrard and Lampard exploit and restrain them being fully effective.

The ability to change a game was stifled due to Milner's inclusion after a virus, and selecting the perennial crock that is Ledley King. It left us short on any game-altering substitutes. We were fortunate too as Carragher and Terry (vile individuals!) were always going to get skinned for pace too.

I was hoping to get one over on the septics though. I can't stand the American fan bases approach to sport! It grates at me!

TDF for me i'm afraid Very Happy

I usually fall for the hype of the WC/Euro's but am just fed up of spolit/overpaid footballers not coming up with the goods. I would normally say i prefer supporting England in Rugby Union but after Saturdays result better keep quiet Rolling Eyes


I agree watching endless TDF can become a bit sad but when an attack happens it is just the best feeling.


Watching recorded coverage of Cancellara dropping Boonen on the "muur" in the Tour Of Flanders would not just have been the same as watching it live Shocked Cool
