    It's typically on ITV4 if you're interested. I'm sure you can watch some handball or Kabaddi on Eurosport.

    It is on Eurosport - I've been watching it on a stream and that's the link I've been posting on here.

    It's on ITV4 all the time.

    Damn you Tour de France keeping my repeats of Columbo and Minder off the TV.

    Good link Boothy. I started to watch it, however, and it came up with a "Download Plug-In" box!

    Mine has been good since you first posted it. No breaks or probs. Good to have the others as back up though. In a worst case scenario there is ITV4, but not until well after the start.

    So far - after four stages:

    Thor Hushovd is in first place, but there are three Brits in the top ten:

    David Millar @ 8 secs behind
    Bradley Wiggins (Sky) @ 10 secs
    Geraint Thomas (Sky) @ 12 secs

    Also @ 12 secs behind is another Sky rider - Boasson Hagen.

    Cavendish has to fancy it today. Expect the cross winds to cause havoc in the pack.

    Maybe....but the course is 'lumpy' and he can't climb.

    Stage 5 today: Carhaix - Cap Frehel 164.5km

    Only one (Cat 4) hill of any note. Sprint finish expected, but winds off the sea could cause havoc!

    there are a few punchy climbs scattered along the route but with few chances for the sprinters so far i cannot see the sprinters teams allowing anything to build up. the only way i can see this not going to a sprint is if a group gets away before any wind-related peloton incidents.

    should be entertaining viewing. i'll have to try and avoid any updates until the highlights later.

    Harap is avoiding updates, so I shall not bother with too much detail. Splendid stuff though.
