Felt sorry for Josh Tarling in the bike time trial - he got a puncture which overall probably lost him about 30 seconds and then finished 4th by 2 seconds. The fact he’s (just) younger than DragonSon probably also makes me feel maternal towards him.

Cheg 28 Jul 8:10am, 28 Jul 2024 4,335 posts	0 Cheg I think the BBC is because of rights issues. Since Discovery+ got the coverage for 2020 it’s gone downhill fast.
HunkyTeddy 28 Jul 8:24am, 28 Jul 2024 10,518 posts	0 HunkyTeddy True, Cheg. I remember the days when you could follow umpteen streams on the red button. Still think they could show more live sport though, Eurosport have the rowing at the moment. OK it's only the repachage but always good to see other nations competing rather than focusing so much on GB
Ultracat 28 Jul 8:40am, 28 Jul 2024 15,721 posts	0 Ultracat I switched off BBC coverage as too much talking in a studio and not enough sport
Cheg 28 Jul 8:46am, 28 Jul 2024 4,336 posts	0 Cheg The BBC now is only good for the big stuff. The swim finals and the athletics. The rest is definitely too much chat not enough sport.

Couldn't find a thread so thought I would start one.

Who else is off to watch or who is watching at home?

We're doing Lille and Paris and a mix of sports. Currently trying to find travel insurance that includes ticket cancellation as some of the trains in the UK might be difficult and we have some internal French trains to do as well.

Also need to work out the new Paris metro ticket/app combo (Navigo I think).
