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!

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      The Demons snatched Victory form the Jaws of Defeat as they clawed their way back from 43 points down to win by 23 points in Max Gawn and Tom McDonald's 250th matches at the MCG. Never in Doubt!!!
