    I think the Italian owner of Fuschiardi's on Capel Street is a bit of a cycling nut. It's a restaurant though, so not sure if they'd be showing it.

    Surely Dublin is long overdue a poncey Rapha cafe?

    If Fixx still had a café, they could've filled that gap, but unfortunately they were movedo on for the monstrosity of a building on Dawson Street. I was in the café when the owner was being told the potential plans, though it was likely he knew already and this was just some informal meeting. He seemed gutted by it. It was a good spot, and opened beyond 5pm before any where else seemed to. That and they love to cycle.

    Romano's in Capel Street is owned by a keen cyclist, Romano Morelli.
    When I started racing Vet's races, almost 30 years ago now, I used come up against him now and again.

    Depends on what major soccer/rugby/GAA it clashes with. My local has a few TVs so they very kindly have put the finale of a tour stage /classIc on for me for 30mins or so on one of the TVs.

    Pub beside O’Donoghues Baggot st have done the same for me on polite request. Sorry can’t think of name it recently changed names

    Strange tv listing: it's on Eurosport 2 at 11:30-12:30, then breaks for live skiing, then goes back to it for 14:30. :confused:

    Anyway, the Back Page in Phibsboro have a few tables with small tvs that you can book in advance, near the back beside the pizza counter. I've booked there last year for some of the classic races. Not a bad spot.

    That's the women's Race on E2 11:30-12:30.

    The men's race is E1 from 13:00 - 14:30

    He's been trying (unsuccessfully) to get me to join the Vets ever since I admired one of his display Mercians years ago. Don't think there's any telly there but the food (especially the pasta) is super.
