Nice to see that the Tour de France is going ahead and starting this Saturday!  Not sure how they'll manage the social distancing with the crowds along the road... it's sure to be a logistical nightmare when it comes to maintaining numbers and order; but I'll certainly be watching the greatest sporting event and travel guide known to humankind.

Highlights from past events only HT ... this year's tour is due to start on 29th August.

Damn! That’ll teach me to make assumptions based on seeing only the last part of the advert ?

Don't worry,  I saw the same advert and wasn't paying attention and thought the same thing.

Went to the planner to bookmark & record and no go!

What makes it a little more ambiguous is the fact the programming lists the coverage (in Foxtel's guide) as Live: Tour de France Etape Classique.

For those of us who would otherwise be calling it a night around 2am each night for the next month, having just made it through the Giro, Paris - Roubaix/Nice, I think this is going to be brilliant!

I also can't wait to relive stages from the glory days of Liggett and Sherwin!!

Also FWIW, I read recently that ASO are still planning to hold Le Tour in August-September which, as you mentioned HT, will be very interesting to see how they handle social distancing protocols etc.

They've stated they intend to hold the events with no crowds, which will be very interesting to see how that is enforced at such a unique sporting event. Not to mention that, like every other sporting code in the world right now, it's the crowd that often make this event so special - especially on those long Alps or Pyrenees stages.

Tuned in tonight and the highlights packages (Etape Classique) are very good ... 3 stages tonight all from the 2013 tour.  The Island of Corsica featured.

I doubt we'll see anything with Armstrong involved though RF.  That's a blessing!

Cadel Evans features tonight ... stage 9 2011 (when he was the winner of le tour)

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
