Tour De France Highlights - ITV4

With the risk of repeating my posting of 26th July 2010, I cannot think of another sports event where the highlights programme is so much better than the live show. At 7pm for an hour every evening on ITV4, we watch the brilliant coverage of the Tour de France. The team are so good. Gary Imlach does the presentation, Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwan are the commentators, and Chris Boardman and Ned Boulting do the technical fun stuff and interviews. These last two just get better and better.

And of course there is the music at the end of each programme. Last night Portishead sang about white horses on "The Rip" as we watched a couple riding along a field, keeping up with the peleton. Superb.
