ITV in with new Cycling Show

[GetAGrip]

I wonder who the sponsors are? Halfords which may well mean Boardman appears regulary? Lots of car ads at the interval? Full hour or just 30 minutes?

It's either going to be so patronisingly basic or go off on a tangent that it will be rubbish.

I think some of us could cope quite well with a basic and patronizing 10 min section. It could take thousands of us up to the next level in the future

Pretty sure Chain Reaction Cycles are the sponsor.

Looking at the link i also see Jeremy Kyle has gone to America ,, thank god for that .
How are the great unwashed of the British public going to get on TV now though.

Crimewatch?

I noticed a trailer last night - Chain Reaction Cycles were the named sponsor. The trailer seemed to want to promote the diversity angle, even mentioning that it would cover commuting, so it's not just the racing side.

EDIT: just noticed Andrew's earlier post.

A bit more info here. It says it isn't just about racing and will feature challenges like a certain motoring show.

Hmmmm... I think I'm going to be watching this....

I almost missed the hidden message written in invisible ink in your post; I had to hold my laptop up to the bulb of my bedside lamp to make it appear.

LOL, so it's not just me that takes the laptop to bed then!

Does that mean no one is watching the TdF? ..and i was hoping that the whole country was behind BW!

Last year it got record figures... 5 million viewers a day. This year is supposed to have had more. I've had people who dont ride come up and ask me "Will Wiggins really win it!?"

Oh yes, as the solitary bloke in my office who doesn't care a toss about wendyball and never takes part in office wendyball banter, I'm suddenly being consulted by blokes seeking an authoritative view on the Tour and Wiggo's chances of winning. It's an odd experience for me, especially as the questions are laced with a sense of expectation that my reply will be worth repeating down the pub.

I met one of our trade body inspectors today for the 1st time. we were talikg about our journeys in and i said i missed cycling in today as it was going to be such a run around day. 1st thing he asked was if wiggins stood a chance and what did i think for team GB chances at the olympic cycling.

i hope cyling may have turned a corner in the UK
