I’ve really enjoyed the ITV coverage over the years a shame it won’t be on terrestrial TV

Agree Steve, from the iconic tune, Imlach presenting and the commentators / pundits over the years Liggett, Sherwen, Millar, Boardman…even Ned are great

Hopefully they will find a way to get a highlight show at least on terrestrial nearer the time of next years tour

I've been away over the two weeks but set up the telly box to record ITV Highlights.... a binge fest for when I get home later today!

End of the ITV coverage. 
Will the commentators move to TNT ?

I'm sure that early in the Tour, I heard Imlach say something about retiring. I hope he doesn't.
(No idea what other work he does these days)

I hope that David Millar finds a spot with TNT.

However, I won't miss Ned and his cliche full commentating.

Matt and Dan are journalists, so I'm sure they'll just slot in on other coverage if they want.


Prudhomme bricked it by neutralising the stage with 50km to go. Basically turned the stage into a one-day race, with little relevance to the rest of the Tour.
However, that might have been a trade off for Pog agreeing to go for the stage win.

Good to see WvA win the stage. I know that he can't sustain that kind of effort day after day like Pog and Jonas, but he's one hell of a rider.

Brilliant GC result for Olney

I see that the TTT is coming back next year, albeit in a new format where each rider gets an individual time.

It'll be interesting to see if this leads to the GC contenders and TT specialists bombing off on their own, or whether it turns into a 20km lead out, with the domestiques pacing the contenders before dropping away.
Could be a bonkers first stage in Barce
