    Also, there is an article in Procycling this month about Sky's bid for yellow and green - they interview a number of people associated with the last team to do that successfully, Telekom with Zabel and Ullrich and Zabel and Riis - Udo Bolts advises Wiggins to "look really closely at the road book in the last week and have a plan for where you are going to use your men".


    I guess there is more ham one way to approach it, and maybe Wiggins is overstating his nonchalance anyway. interesting though.

    meh, wiggins has people to do that for him

    maybe theres a reason so many riders seem to be 'followers' these days

    Lads, I'm not too sharp on who has a chance in the TdF as my interest in it has only started in the last few yrs but has Peter Sagan not got a chance of a top 10? His odds are very high.

    I'd think he'll lose too much time in the high mountains. He could win a couple of stages though.

    I think it's a straight fight out between Wiggins and Evans.

    In relation to Sagan, he has had a phenomenal year so far. He will be fighting against Cav for the green jersey. He should be particularly prominent during the first few stages which have a lumpy finish. He's also not bad at short TT as the Tour due Suisse showed. He'll lose bucket loads in the Alps and Pyrenees though.

    In fairness to him, he does say it's the first time "back to back". I'd imagine that they've analysed the stages where the race will be won and lost already. Similarly Cavendish wouldn't bother doing any serious work on the finishes to mountain stages - I doubt that it's the first time he's seen the stages themselves, just the first time he's seen them laid out in day by day order.

    Hmm, you might be right but from what I've read he seems to put an exceptional amount of faith in the guys who work with him.

    Full quote

    "We’ve looked at a couple of the Tour stages," he said. "I’ve ridden the time trials and looked at a couple of the climbs too. Funnily enough, my son wanted a magazine on the flight over here and he decided to buy the official Tour Guide so I had a look at some of the stages in there. It was the first time that I’d seen them all back-to-back.

    "It’s my way of not looking too far ahead. I’ve recce’d some of the key climbs but I couldn’t tell you what stages they were. I try to take things day by day and it’s a little bit like a jigsaw that fits together gradually, piece by piece. My only priority at this stage is getting ready for Liege and that prologue and starting with a bang.

    "I haven't had much input into the squad we take. We have a selection panel who are in charge of picking the team and they’re looking constantly at everyone’s data – who’s doing what, how they’re performing, where they’re at. I have 100% faith in that selection panel to pick the right team and put the right people around us.

    With Cav stating that he is unlikely to put 100% effort into winning the green jersey, who's going to be the top sprinter? Sagan is making his TdF debut but he is the man on form.

    Also, this should help Wiggins as the Sky train won't be leading out Cav for the sprints.

    L'Equipe have made their Tour Top 20 list and predict Wiggins to win with Evans second (see below). They have Nicolas Roche at 20th and their assessment was:
    "Vincent Lavenu is expecting a lot from Jean-Christophe Péraud (9th last year) but his preparation based on mountain biking (in order to get selected for the Olympics) should weigh against him. On the other hand, Nicolas Roche, the son of Stephen Roche, is coming from an interesting Tour of Switzerland and has achieved 3 top-30s from 3 Tours. Will he be able to hold out over 100km of time-trials, where he is often average? "
    1. Bradley WIGGINS (GBR/Sky) Meilleur classement : 4e en 2009
    2. Cadel EVANS (AUS/BMC) Meilleur classement : vainqueur en 2011

    If you're really feeling nostalgic ESPN Classic which is free on Sky (429) and NTL I think is showing old stages of the TdF every evening at the minute. watched Pantanni win on Ventoux in 2000 a couple of night ago.

    They are running the highlights package every night and its also repeated each morning. The live coverage only kicks in once their Wimbledon Beo is finished from Monday July 9th onwards, but there is live TDF coverage on Sunday 1st July as well. I think Wimbledon takes a break on that Sunday barring weather disruptions

    Happens quite a lot with sport on ITV4 with UPC. Its presumably to do with broadcasting rights in Ireland and I've seen that notice for Rugby, Tennis and Motorsport. Looks like you need a refresher course sa teanga oifigiúl:D

    If you have a SKY box this can be circumvented but not AFAIK with UPC

    Yeah it always happens with any sport on ITV3/ITV4 on UPC I'm afraid.

    Your options are, as already mentioned, TG4, or subscribe to the Eurosport Player for July. I think it's around €5. It's well worth it imo. You can then watch it on your laptop or connect your laptop to a TV if you have the proper cable. Eurosport Player streams Eurosport HD too!

    If you know someone who has Sky and the sports package, then you could ask them if you could login into their Sky Go account and you can watch Eurosport live.

    Yeah it always happens with any sport on ITV3/ITV4 on UPC I'm afraid.

    Your options are, as already mentioned, TG4, or subscribe to the Eurosport Player for July. I think it's around €5.

    The Eurosport smartphone app is also handy for keeping tabs on things when your work schedule interrupts your TDF schedule ;) It also allows you to subscribe for only a month at a time.

    They should already be part of your standard package (well they are in mine) at No's 131 and 132. Unfortunately they're not showing the tour in Eire, something to do with broadcasting rights. Eurosport on 423 is your best bet.

    Anyone here go to this? - one of the few stages easily accessible from Ireland in a day, sorry I didn't think of this a few weeks ago when flights would have been cheap, would have made a nice day out!
