TDF Team Presentation 'Live Tonight'

[Liquigas]

Richie Porte being interviewed, I'm gonna sleep a bit.

 

[LaFlorecita]

LOL they show Nibs instead of Sky

Lolz..... Genius

 

[jaylew]

Sounds like I'm the only one who likes the Nibs jersey. I actually like the way the tri-colour goes with the Astana blue but I do wish the stripes were a little bigger and went all the way around.

 

[Carols]

ROTFL...Valverde instead of Froome

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Eurosport will continue standard practice of prioritising analysis of the event which just finished over live coverage.

 

[Rollthedice]

Wow that really is a crappy National Jersey on Nibs

He'll have to change it as quick as possible to yellow.

 

[Rollthedice]

Holly crap, Froome looks like he's 50 kilos!

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

We'll have to watch the 1 hour delayed ITV4 coverage to find out what actually happened on the stage.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

mmm awkward

 

[armchairclimber]

Haha, refreshing coverage from Eurosport.
Less partisan than the BBC. And hell's teeth, the response to SKY and Froome was very muted.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

He'll have to change it as quick as possible to yellow.

Hope you're right !

 

[Fight.The.Power]

And just to prove to the likes of Waterloon Sunset that we are not an uncultured bunch.

Hey Presto - Opera !!

 

[deValtos]

Just finished watching on the TV ...

Apparently Eurosport put a 2 year old kid in charge of production ????!???

Unbelievable.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Eurosport is just wasting everybody's time.
Christ, the quality is low.

Note: not talking about the show itself which looked very good. Its the ES overlay which is crap.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Got to say Prudhomme is a fantastic ambassador for the Tour. Think he does a fabulous job and is always super motivated !

 

[Carols]

Okay prelims done...bring it on boys!!! This is going to be a great race I hope

 

[JRanton]

Why change the habit of a lifetime. Eurosport continues to be an absolute shambles.

For those of us who didn't get to watch it, can someone sum up what the reception was for Froome? I saw a couple posts say it was mixed. Was Froome booed? Just not cheered very much? Were there any fans with signs for Wiggins? Details, please

Also, how was the audience reception for the other GC guys - Contador, Nibs, Valverde, etc?

Thanks

We didn't get to see it. Great coverage.

Contador got quite a lot of cheers. I was happy

Yeah sure, the reaction for Contador was ...

*Cuts away*

... and now Eurosport interrupt this answer for some detailed analysis on that answer to your question !

What a great answer, hope that helped.

[murali]

was there any coverage from Bein or some other decent channel?

There seems to be a lot of negative reactions on here but I thought all the riders were cheered & welcomed equally but I must agree with a lot of other posters that Greg Lamond is useless

I have ITV4 on at the moment and they seem to be showing the teams at the moment without added interviews

They didn't boo anyone from what I heard. The reaction to Froome was just not overwhelming. Seemed like they cheered Kittel almost as much.

When there were still 7 teams left, the presenters were hyping up that the finale would be Sky and Froome. That seemed to generate rumbling rather than acclaim, which I posted at the time. When it was finally Sky's turn to appear on stage (which ES omitted in favour of bad interviews with Nibali and Valverde) , there were firework sound effects and very vocal support, as there was for Froome's interview.
