  • How do the drugs tests actually works and who actually delivers it?

    I'm really interested to see some wider coverage on how the testing works for the tour, and some form of comparison about how the other tours (giro and vuelta) manage this problem.

  • What are they doing to my glorious sport

I love cycling and the tour de france with a passion but these drugs cheats really get me down and to make matters worse its the only time we ...

  • Re: classic theme

    If enough people mount a campaign maybe we can get Phil and Gary to ''answer'' a ''question'' on the show.  They always have someone who writes in and says, ''How does Gary know so much about French chateaux?'', to which the anser is always ''Well, the organisers of the Tour produce a little book... anyway, here's some helicopter footage with ...

  • Interviewer qualifications

    Does anybody else think that the quality of interviewers is not up to asking good questions of the likes of Mark Cavendish? His response to some of the inane questions posed demonstrates that he has no respect for them. Why can't ITV get an ex-professional rider who would get respect and ask sensible questions?

  • Brailsford Announces British Tour Team Plan

    Brailsford claims he has talent in th UK which can make up a credible team to win. A bold statement,historically Nation teams have suffered from infighting I believe. How I wonder does he intend to deal with this and probably more importantly who exactly will be the Director Sportive of the team. This is a very important role and requires someone ...

  • Why don't they show current speed of riders?

    Anyone know why the TV coverage doesn't show how fast the riders are going in real time. It would add to the excitement if we could see how fast the pelaton was going compared to a breakaway group. And show what amazing speeds they achieve climbing and decending hills?
