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!

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
