  • Tom Simpson

    I watched pretty much all of yesterday's coverage and not one mention of Tommy Simpson or the memorial on the mountain. Ok he died in suspicious and unsavory circumstances but the attitude to drugs was very different then. Either someone had gagged Ligget and Sherwen about at least making some refererence to that sad day or they really are as ...

  • The Science of Lance Armstrong

    Hi All,   I put a post through during the tour where I said I had missed recording the ITV4 special, ''The Science of Lance ARmstrong''  Unfortunately I have been watching the TV schedule for weeks and have not seen it repeated yet.  Does anyone know if it is on the internet or streamable?

  • Re: What is your favourite rider name / team over the years?

    Lauren Fignon was the best Le Tour rider I ever did see.  Being English, I hate the French , but Fignon was a great Le Tour cyclist. Nick P.S. Great to see some brief interviews with him on ITV4 too over the last three weeks.

Has there always been this acceptance of the result before the race is over?   Isn't it time for one of the new clean teams to ...

    lanternerouge:Isn't it to get the riders behind out of your slipstream? In fact it is the otherway around.  The lead cyclists does this, as it helps to see a pending attack and hopefully be able to react 'pre-emptive', and jump the gun first.  The reason all the cyclists follow and all weave about like a shoal of fish is until ...

    I heard Phil say that, when the Tour started in London, the crowd was three million. Who counted them? Yours Tim Evans.
