      edit: app looks like it should have it live, app tv schedule does suggest it might not be on because of tennis.
      App has the "UCI Channel". Doesn't always have commentary though, even when it has pictures.

      Wish live coverage would hurry up and be on :(

      Just watching tickers at the minute
      Spoiler
      Thomas De Gendt is among 7 6'25 up the road with a decent chance they can stay out, sky and trek doing the chasing in the peleton at the moment

      In fairness the end of the football was very exciting. Penalty shoot out.

      Contador on a new Edmonda for the Dauphine and Tour. It bears a striking resemblance to his 2009 Madone - according to Bertie, the best bike he's ever ridden. I'd swear that he asked Trek to whip out the old moulds and build him either the same bike or something very similar with some modern tweaks.

      He's up to 5 times with the win the dauphine win the tour so far , worse it it's got commentary on the UCI channel on the player too so mute button will be needed here I think :D

      Oh they've obviously gone to an add on ES2 and he's forgotten to mute his mic as it's got no ads on the UCI one :D

      This'll be well earned for De Gendt if he can pull it off.

      Punching the air in the last km :D

      Yeah Swift wasn't happy to play second fiddle if i recall at Sky. I'll link the article if i can find it , but he should have known what he was getting into with sky and did stay for 6 years. Landa is looking like he's not content to take the cheque either at the minute and has bigger aspirations.

      There was a diary in Monday's print edition covering 1st stage.

      It seemed to be patchy about which Sam Bennett diaries were online for the Giro.

      When I looked last week it was in the Eurosport 2 schedule, but now it's gone :mad:

      Seems like it's not back with live TV coverage until Thursday, and it's live on Friday & Saturday also.
