I know they are our best mainstream coverage of most of the big bike races but todays coverage(Friday) is the ultimate p*ss take.20 minutes !!!!!! Some would say its better than nothing but knowing Eurosports scheduling it probably will be nothing if the tennis or motorbikes overrun.Hopefully the TdF coverage will be a little more extensive.

    It's on Eurosport 2 between 8 and 9.10. I know it's not the same as live coverage but it's not bad considering it is British Eurosport and the Queens Tennis tournament is on.

    yes sward I know so I've set a manual recording on my Sky+ with a 1hr window either side in case of schedule changes which they are famous for.Also Drewfromrisca maybe Es are taking pity on us for yesterdays rantings from both Kirby and Duffers,getting riders hopelessly wrong and drivelling on about utter twaddle.Makes you appreciate Harmon and Kelly dreamteam doesn't it?

    Effort!!?!?! Effort!?!?!? What the effort to confuse us all??? :lol:

    Lovely guy, I met him and said quick hi etc etc at Smithfield nocturne last year but half the time I think he's watching something else other than me!!!

    Still mustn't knock it cos I would probably struggle as well. Not easy to talk for hours on end...although I think a fair few women would disagree with that :wink:

    Same here.

    Even the upscaled SD is better then British Eurosport. I have HD on throughout the day most weekends.
