[Neath boy]

Cardiff Ajax CC are in. My favourite Grand tour.

[hammerddh]

Speedfest are in

[murf]

murf's mob take the entry to 17

[Moist von Lipwig]

A.M. Postal Service is in.


Stefano Pirazzi and Nicolo Ruffoni of Bardiani are on the startlist but have been given the boot due to hormonal irregularities. I don't think that means it's their time of the month.

Thought you were recommending me some Italian cheapies there!

Bit worried my team largely lacks local talent.....

[Bronn]

greatest show on turf are in

[SPR]

SPR Racing is in. Need to review the stages.

[El Tel of Ealing]

What joy! It's Rob Hatch doing the commentary on Eurosport.
Saved from 3 weeks of the jibbering incoherent idiot that is Carlton Kirby.

[unc.si.]

Just sat down to pick my team and realised that it started today not tomorrow.

Oh well, there's always next year...

[GM]

Equipe Mons

Entered, thanks good luck all

Not on ITV4...

Found out the highlights are on something called 'Quest'.

Will try them tonight as I never trust Eurosport timings and fear my Sky+ recording chopping off as the sprint starts.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the other day. Channel 37 on freeview at 10pm. Seem to be rebroadcasting the Eurosport highlights from what I can gather.

Just watched it now, great last couple of kms. I wouldn't have sat up that early though!

[murf]

Eurosport 2 was due to be Giro from 10-11 tonight. Still playing the tennis so start has shifted to 10.40 but the end still shows as 11! Gotta love, sorry, hate Eurosport.

[Moist von Lipwig]

Oh, it was on Eurosport 1 from 8-9.

And Quest was just rebroadcasting the Eurosport package, I flicked over to have a look. (144 on sky, for info) that might be a bit more reliable for recording purposes.

[murf]

Another reason to hate Eurosport.... their highlights is literally just big wedges of the live coverage glued together.

1hr show last night (as pasted onto Quest) showed a lot of the first climb of 3 then suddenly, after an ad break, there was only 8km to go!

I quite like Jonathan Edwards but does he really know anything about Cycling and can he please learn his lines rather than looking down at a clipboard...

Bring back ITV4.

[blahblah]

I think that Quest is linked to Eurosport, as it shows a lot of Snooker, which is on Eurosport but not on BBC.

It does seem strange that Europsort are so pants on Cycling, given how much they show - but then they don't usually do lead up bits, just straight into the race..

Coincidentally I was talking with someone about "Anchors" and how much they need to know etc. Rebecca Low (?) from NBC is really good, as she asks questions. It seems that ones here insist on being "experts".....

That sucks with the new combined tours comp as well.....

[Moist von Lipwig]

"Everyone to the front" strikes again. Great when that happens.

[Spencer4]

Rohan Dennis out

[Moist von Lipwig]

Rohan Dennis out

Yes, that's massively annoying. I picked him over Michael Woods.

[Neath boy]

Thankfully lots of us with Dennis.

[SPR]

I skipped Dennis luckily. Not that my team is tearing it up right now.

[Alchemist]

So Mr Victor Campenaerts you're going to tear up the time trials then...................... NOT!

[murf]

Bastardo!

[Alchemist]

Glad nobody else went with Fraile!!!!

What happened to Landa - he was with Fraile with 40 to go, ended up loosing nearly 14 mins?

[Spencer4]

I did, and had Costa

[murf]

I largely went with Sky blokes.

Luckily I chose the right country for subsequently ordering a hit on a police motorcyclist.
