Matt Rendell's book is worth a read if you've not already done so.

Really great book - brilliantly written, excellently researched, and pretty haunting.

TNT highlights not great either - no analysis, no stage profile for tomorrow’s race, and no drop-in features about culture/history of the race etc. Commentator isn’t a patch on Ned Boulting and David Millar either.

You’d have thought they would have taken all the best bits of the ITV4 coverage and just added a bit to them.

I always try and work from home when it's on during the he day.... highlights are so unsatisfactory in cycling....which is weird as not much goes on most of the time....but each stage is a story...and it unfolds at varying cadences.
Plus I like technical chi chat, storytelling and just going off on random tangents...all in the background while I get on with other stuff.

Something akin to Test Match Special just with better scenery
