I've been googling it and can't find anything. If it plays for long enough you could 2580 it on your mobile. It usually needs 30 seconds but sometimes they can work it out quicker.

ps Anyone notice how a now non-exsitent company sponsors the tour coverage? THat's pretty poor isn't it?

If you can find this years intro on you tube then your sorted. Download the youtube video using voobys. What you do is replace youtube in the URL with voobys, when the webpage opens click download, when you get the pop up window change the file name to something, TDF.flv for example, make sure you put .flv after it so it saves the file as flash video. Then all you need to do is convert the file to normal video such as .wmv using a video converter application, then use wavepad to convert the audio to .mp3.

Bit of a lengthy process but works.

Dear me.

A lot of faffing about avoiding the subject there!

The theme is an instumental of 'Bulletproof' by La Roux.

ITV4 TDF theme tune is sh1te (few notes, doesn't go anywhere) but annoyingly, also very memorable. Can't stop humming it....

On the other hand, Kraftwerk's TDF is excellent, but possibly less easy to hum...

We all know which of the old intro tunes we like but what if we were asked to choose a new intro tune.
What would you like to hear the intro to be.

I hate the theme tune but every time I hear it, I think of "Cat Scratch Fever" by Motorhead!

Anyone else find the adverts tediously long? I often end up missing part of the next bit because I invariably wander off to do something else..

You watching on eurosport ir itv4 mate?

ian_s

ITV4

Garz

Yep jake, I found eurosport to cover more and have less commercials. It is however less condensed so you actually waste more time multitasking instead of the nicer more interesting highlight style of itv4. 8)
