Shame it's not on ITV4 or C4, but it's something. I don't think I've ever watched a Giro stage!

Isn't there some Bike Channel on FreeSat that isn't on Freeview? My Dad's been irritating me for months, asking me if I've seen such-and-such a programme on it :facepalm:Channel 37 on freeview.

Nor on FreeSat, annoyingly.

Some of the programmes on the bike channel seem to have a loud backing track music dialogue in the
background, which makes the voice commentary almost inaudible; which is very irritating.

The Colemantators were quick to blame the motorcyclist, but he didn't seem to have stopped suddenly in front of the peloton from what I could see and he was right at the edge of the road where spectators could easily have been.He was on the edge of the tarmac, but just after a bend (and on the outside where the flow would take the riders), when the race for position at the bottom of the major climb was in full flow. Wrong place at the wrong time. :(
Another Giro. Another flop for Sky
I agree it wasn't Thomas' fault, but the aim was to win GC. One of their leaders has now quit and the second leader is way down the general classification. IMO that's a flop.
Still, at least Sky haven't had any riders disqualified, unlike a few years ago.
OTOH older members will recall Lemond riding into Paris with diarrhoea running down his legs.

Didn't both team cars look about as bad as Lemond, after Hinault's team manager tried to get up to him to tell him to attack but Lemond's team car was in the way?

I believe they were both riding for La Vie Clare at the time 1986 tour. The whole incident is recounted in the foreword to Slaying the Badger. It was earlier in the tour than the Champs Elysses.

Very pleased for Tom. I've nothing *against* Quintana, but cannot really like the guy either. Tom's smile as he watched the race clock tick-over into "win" was just lovely :)
I missed most of the stages (I was riding thru Swiss/Italian alps :smug: ); in the last highlights programme, was Dumoulin bunny-hopping a kerb in an ITT???

I've never warmed to Quintana, he seems to have less charisma than Froome, but I do think he showed a complete lack of any leadership skills after the infamous toilet stop and has gone down in my estimation. Not that he'll be particularly bothered by my lack of support.I spent the weekend with my sister-in-law's family and friends - her best friend's common-law husband is Colombian and says that Quintana has the personality of a brick.
