Tour de France 2010

Posted on by

It’s that time of year again the Tour de France is back 🙂 It’s going to be a great year with the Team Sky, doing the tour for the very first time.  If like myself you don’t have pay TV and never will do. ITV4 in the UK is showing highlights every night and for the first time even showing live stuff 🙂

ITV4 can be found on Freeview (24), Freesat (117), $ky (120) and Virgin Media (118).

Rotterdam hosts the start of one of the biggest annual sporting events of the calendar. The Prologue time trial returns after a two year absence. The short flat 8.9 km course should suit Britain’s Bradley Wiggins, but watch out for Fabian Cancellera who is the world time trial champion.
