I'm not sure Milan was ever a serious contender to win on Ventoux

Good holiday location scouting potential today...

I know this road . It's a great place to base up for cycling holidays

They ballsed up the intermediate sprint . Chased down small breaks ( which would have left points at the sprint ) and let a big group go .... Moreover didn't assist as many riders as possible getting to the finish ahead of pogacar .

A clear win decided before Paris won't get them as much coverage as a close win, but probably more than a close loss. It's a difficult game to judge.

ITV4 coverage from 1330 BST today.

It's going to feel very weird having no cycling on telly from a week tomorrow, until hopefully full coverage of TOB.

Aren't we stuck with awful BBC iPlayer for ToB?

And are WBD bothering with highlights of the TdF Femmes on Quest or anywhere public, or is it still in the "we only cover this at all because it's part of the ASO package with the TdF" box?

So might be a itv thing rather than the rights they bought ?

It's a rights thing. Made it cheaper. Been that way for a few years.
