As long as I breathe, I attack.
My wife identified the dress as Dolce & Gabanna FWIW And described yesterday's outfit as "self basting trousers".

i noticed they got rid of the chairs and now have a wider shot of the whole group :sad:
 
Incidentally, I logged a query on the Dmax website on Sunday, and later got this incredibly helpful email:

Picture quality could depend on the size of a TV. Smaller ones often little to choose between SD and HD
It is a fairly large TV (50") so that does make poor quality more obvious, but it is even poorer than usual. It isn't so much the lower definition as the obvious compression artefacts. That is via Freesat. Maybe it is better quality on Freeview?

Um.. I've set both Freeview and Freesat PVRs to record tonight's to find out.

DMAX on Freeview is 1.6Mb/s average, max of 3.0. Size of file for 1 Hour recording : 777 Mb. Resolution is 544x576 so maybe it was showing a 4:3 show at the time of test.

DMAX on Freesat is 2.1Mb/s average, max of 5.5. Size of file for 1 Hour recording : 1.2 Mb. Resolution is 720x576.

So Freesat should be slightly better but there's not a huge amount in it. For comparison, Freesat QUEST HD is 9.0Mb/s average at a resolution of 1920x1080.

I just took a photo of my TV showing a still from the Giro. (The picture is a JPG but I used very light compression to get it within CycleChat's size limit and the compression artefacts are 99% those from the TV picture, not my photo.)

It isn't absolutely unwatchable but it really isn't very good!
