    I've watched the Paulo Savoldelli climb programmes. If you've not seen them, they take to form of Paulo chatting with another rider as they ride a classic climb. The overdub is a bit flat, like one of those automated animations.

    Hm. we just have the basic Virgin TV package. BIKE TV requires me to add a subscription. Maybe I'll not bother...

    We have the most basic one, basically it's Freeview but with a few extra channels and a TiVo box... :-)

    Interesting programme on now about setting up the Grand Depart in Corsica.

    Massive logistical job.

    Mate lives in Tignes, the finish was there one year, they paid a fortune for it......only for the helicopter pictures to fail before they arrived!
