Tour de France 2023 ***spoilers*** Warning in OP

Jonas for the win

Pog for 2nd

An Australian in 3rd (Hopefully Hindley because he did The Rás)

All I want from this TDF is for Bernal to win a stage.

Thanks to Netflix I'll be following the Tour de France for the first time in my life this year, are there Youtube highlights videos that sum up the day? If so, any recommendations? (something around 30 mins would be perfect)

(When I miss e.g. an F1 race, I'll watch highlights on Youtube)

There are indeedy - GCN or Tour de France official will both have highlights, GCN's are better.

There's also lots of "talking head" recaps from people like Phil Gaimon or Chris Horner

Try and follow the GCN Highlights the Tour de France official and Eurosport are both shocking for putting spoilers right in the title of the video.

Not YouTube... but TG4 broadcast a 30 minute highlight show after each stage, usually around 10pm (and repeated again the next day). It's in English.

Think they are geoblocked on some providers eg Virgin Media.

Ive always found the TG4 highlights to be ideal, concise but not short and on at the perfect time when the kids are well asleep.

Must check out ITV this year though.

TG4 used to have the "world feed" half hour highlights. For highlights packages, I'd really recommend ITV4 tbh. An hour if you watch live, but if you have the option to record and skip ads less. It has more features/ stories surrounding the race than the other highlights.

I've picked my provisional team for the Velogames fantasy league... I've gone with Vingegaard, Pogacar, & WvA, with the rest of the team consisting of bargain basement riders (and also Fred Wright!)

That's properly the worst Pro tour jersey I've ever seen

It is difficult to do anything with that Lidl logo as a main sponsor - both in terms of colours / design and the fact that the first thought that springs to mind when you see it is cheap.

Those national champs jerseys are a disgrace though, imagine dreaming all your life of a season in the national champs jersey and getting a big Lidl logo splashed across the front of it.

I actually like the 90's vibe of the standard jerseys! However, I would agree that the National Champs one's need more work, although I would caveat that they've had less than a week to actually see what national champs jerseys they would be working with. Still better than some that have had the national flag barely visible.

+1 on Discovery+ - it has everything that's on Eurosport and GCN, plus a huge range of really awful American reality shows, what more could you want! You can use it on any device, you're not restricted to the Sky box. And it's included with any Sky package, I'm only paying them €10 a month and still get Discovery+ thrown in.
