Chrisull Jun 2015 12:13pm, 18 Jun 2015 7,450 posts	0 Chrisull Pinchy - the coverage last year tends to start at 1.30 or 2.00 and carry on til close of play at 4/4.30. It isn't as comprehensive as Eurosport from that point of view, but you tend to see most of the main action, unless you get a breakaway right at the beginning of the day. Mountain stages and time trials seem to get longer/more comprehensive coverage too, or did last year.
The Teaboy Jun 2015 12:23pm, 18 Jun 2015 12,996 posts	0 The Teaboy I'd like Pinot or Bardet to surprise a few people. The race needs a French hero again.

PinchyII Jun 2015 12:35pm, 18 Jun 2015 547 posts	0 PinchyII excellent - thanks Chris - will look it up on ITV4 then - which is handy as I can have it running in the background on ITVplayer whilst at work

alpenrose Jun 2015 5:58pm, 18 Jun 2015 10,388 posts	0 alpenrose Pinchy, I'm like you and find the ITV4 coverage quite adequate. I really miss the commentary from Eurosport but that changed a while back when David Duffield retired anyway. It's better if you can record it then you can fast forward the ads and boring bits. They usually increase the hours on special days like when in the mountains so you could have 6 hours to catch up on when you get in. Then record the highlights programme in the evening because if anything special happened during the day they will have the post race interviews etc on the subject.
Dai Bank Jun 2015 7:33pm, 18 Jun 2015 4,148 posts	0 Dai Bank Hopefully ITV4 will not have Liggett and Sherwen making things up, missing things and mis-identifying riders left right and centre as usual. Maybe Boulting and Millar will get the gig. If not it will be a combination of Sporza and muted coverage via cyclingfans or steephill.tv for me. Even flemish commentary that I can barely comprehend will be better than Kirby on Esport.
SPR Jun 2015 8:10pm, 18 Jun 2015 20,302 posts	0 SPR Kirby is outweighed by Sean Kelly for me.
.B. Jun 2015 8:51pm, 18 Jun 2015 17,251 posts	0 .B. I'm still weighing it up. Love Sean, but Carlton is hard to put up with for hours on end. Despite myself I thought Millar was very good on the itv Daupine coverage
