how great van Aert.

Really happy Van Aert won but loved that Poggi gave it a good go

Only watched bits and pieces of the Tour after the early stages in the Pyrenees.

Pogacar has ruined it and he's defo on the gear.

So there it was, the end of this years TdF, and the actual end of over 40 years of British TV coverage.

Why the end of free-to-air Tour de France coverage in the UK is a concerning moment for cycling

Easy access to the sport's biggest race is vital for inspiring new generations of riders - but it is about to be scrapped

Thanks to Phil Liggett, Paul Sherwen (rip), David Saunders, Gary Imlach, Ned Boulting, (a much lesser shout to David Millar), Dan Friebe and Matt Rendell. We got lucky, we were gifted Chris Boardman, in the velodrome, at the Olympics, and at the tour. Then working for cycling GB, and presenting on the tour to.

Fignon, Hinault, Lemond, Roche, Delgado, Big Mig, and then into the modern digital world wide broadcast event. I wonder how the spectre of seven for armstrong looms over the latest marvel.

So long and farewell.



Au revoir

It'll be interesting to see what happens with the Vuelta. Pogacar definitely seems below his road flattening best, and UAE have Del Toro, Ayuso, Vine, Majka, McNulty, and possibly even Almeida to think about for the race. If he did ride, he'd probably have better support than he did at the Tour. It seems likely that Vingegaard will race it as he's also going for the Worlds this year.
