Pro Cycling Thread 2023

Terrible news for cycling coverage in the UK to see TDF go from free to air is such a shame! Especially as the ITV hour package is so good compared to Eurosport!

Big shame as I preferred ITV coverage and that little jingle. When they'd have the full stage on I'd only switch to Eurosport during advert breaks

Yeah, thats really annoying. Used to love watching it while I "worked"

If you don't listen ned boulting and David millar do a good podcast on sort of cycling. Ned got pretty emotional talking about the news! Worth a listen if you haven't heard it before.
