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.

    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!

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
