TdF on ITV4

[Dombo]

Anyone see the live ones at the weekend?
Brilliant comment from Liggett; helicopter shot of peloton snaking through a pretty village, usual commentary about the riders, positioning etc, then it lingered too long on a combined harvester in a field.
3-4 seconds of silence and then we had "Combined harvester in a field there, separating the wheat from the chaff". Absolute classic.

He is a very professional bike rider!

And there's always some one...."locked in their own personal purgartory.."

'And now onto the competition to win a boardman road bike.'

F... off and put the cycling back on you tossers, I don't want the opportunity to win some half baked time trial bike I just want to watch the cycling, and why are you asking me a question about a frigging track bike race when I am watching the tour de bloody france.

cheers

That's the concept of commercial TV. And folk moan about the BBC licence fee ....

"coming out of the ground again [underpass on Paris circuit] - like 170 moles on bikes"

(in the TT) "Contador trying to move himself forward on the bike" - no he's not, he's pulling himself backwards, cos he keeps slipping forward. Seems to be a common occurence on the TT bikes as I'd noticed that from him and several riders before.
