To be fair I think they have a point but especially so when consider its rarely done to grow cycking by being held in nations where there's high potential but a small scene (Like Israel with the Giro) but instead it goes to nations that have at least 1 major race already (Spain has many, UK has the Tour of Britian) so I understand the frustration there because I'd rather ride the tour of france in France than start in a country which gonna race anyway but if they did it every other year and in a nation that riders may not race in otherwise and that could benifit from having such a race come by and inspire a generation.

Good. Inios is an awful company that shouldn't have ever been allowed into cycling. Is easily findable video of their staff assaulting grandma's protesting fracking, something eventually banned due to its lack of success when done, and fact in most communities around 98% of those asked disapproved of having one. I celebrate their failure and until a better owner takes over British cycling won't recover as I know I'm not alone in how feel, especially those who love cycling but as currently unsold on it as a pro sport.

Yes they race different to the men but I think it's generally smarter cycling by the top. Mens there's plenty of chess but also I think there's more of a view that you physically break your opponents. The womens you see the top riders forcing mistakes more which not only gives them time ahead but has a huge psychological impact.

Yet ITV isn't free. No 'free-view' is. Many pay for a TV licence which is more expensive than most subscription services for access. Watching without a licence is a crime. However despite that the coverage of last years tour was awful. I mean genuinely appalling I was glad had Discovery to watch, plus that way I got the whole race. Nevermind why anyone would want to pay a tv licence to the BBc, ITV , Chanel 4 etc is beyond me as they have literally made terroist propoganda so I couldn't be happier at this change. Cycling should be for everyone. Any network that incites hate and is bias against others isn't a network that fits cycling culture nor should they be able to profit of cycling.
