No they have been ever so slowly increasing their coverage.
I'm pretty sure they did all live stages last year.

They are again this year, 2-4:30, then the daily highlights 7-8.

Sean Kelly?
Phil and Paul all the way.

Your right, I looked at the schedule. ITV4 have really good coverage now. Just enough to keep everyone satisfied. Looks like I wasted 4.99 lol
Oh well I can flick over to player when the adverts are on.

Eurosport coverage normally starts an hour earlier at least, so not a complete waste.

Came off my bike hurtling down one of the steepest hills in Bristol. Bike's pretty f***ed. Body seriously roughed up.
Coincidental timing but just reinforces what warriors these guys are. Cycling hurts.
In bed recovering, listening to the 5live preview...bring it on.

Grivko the early leader.

Superb ride from Steve Cummings to take second at this stage. Nice to see him in a bit of form after a tough season with injuries.

Prologue on itv 4 now is this not live then

Matt Rendell with a roving mike.

This isn't going to end well

It is live, just the early riders started from 1:15 onwards.

 

[Stat Brother]

Yeah P they are up and running, as said Matt Rendell @ the finish line, what more could you ask for.



You could see Cav's looking pretty slim.

 

[Stat Brother]

Pitching for 3 full racing days, in the UK, '16 or '17.

Bring it on.

What a ride from Chavanel. I was not expecting that, getting to the real big riders now.

 

[Stat Brother]

That was 7(ish) secs faster than a poorly Dave Millar.

The big boys will be flying.

I managed to squeeze Wiggins, Martin and Cancellara into my fantasy team.

First impressions:-

I'm going to get p'ed off with the bloke on the Carrera.

Well done, I could not do manage it without losing too many decent DS riders. I decided to go without Wiggins as he will be in nearly every team. Grivko looks like he will score for me, Rogers not unfortunately.

 

[Stat Brother]

Unsurprisingly I've not seen anything from any of my dom's.

 

[Stat Brother]

Oh I take that back, I'd forgotten about Brett Lancaster.

I went too prologue heavy in the dauphine so i've held back here.

 

[Pantani]

Wiggins would have beaten Chavanel by loads if he did not have a cigar on in the first half.

 

[Stat Brother]

Blimey Charlie, that was rapid.
