    See who you recognise without clicking on the image ! Some of them are pretty good

    Pretty good?! Tough crowd. They're pretty sensational IMO
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Surprised no-ones kicked this off for a general chit chat about the race so far and what's coming up

    Ok, here's a bit of light-hearted relief. Captions please...

    Well, it worked for him.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    They are good, but the question is 'why'?

    As with most art, do you need to ask ? In fact I guess you shouldn't

    Strong Vote for ITV. Their rest day show this year was most excellent...

    I wonder what was edited out of the Gary and Chris doping chat - there were a couple of bizarre over the shoulder dubbed shots!

    Re the ITV rest day show...
    could have been worse and had a revolving camera round them like that fool in the late 80's did. doubt much got edited out....

    Vino giving nothing away. Bassons interview was very interesting. the thing about everything reflecting on the past is true...

    Quality production where Gary told us that they couldn't afford the rights to show a bit of 'Les Mistons' shot in the arena at Nimes. How much did they want 20 Euros!

    Don't tell us how low budget this programme is - Its bl00dy obvious it only cost £5,000 a programme and that was all just to pay for Chris.

    Both rest day shows have been belters.

    For a few dollars more they could have had Lemond. There's more insight and passion for the sport in a single highlights show than the entire UK media coverage of the World Cup: Savage on Brazil, anyone?

    Your on-the-spot reportage has been essential this Tour, RideO, but you might need to upgrade the finishing bottles to reach Paris.
