Pro riders are far too skinny for my taste, I like a well build man

Ooo, hello Pat.

We never did exchange phone numbers, did we?

Me too but pros work as eye candy (well other than froome and wiggins)!

Some of the sprinters have a bit of meat on them?

And as for the grimps.... Think of all that stamina

And thanks from me too!

This channel seems to be getting better, I enjoyed The coach, Italy, even with the comedy voice over translation, there was some good tips in it, one about l'eroica, the mtb world cup, and programmes about heroes of the Giro d'italia/tour de france, Bernard Hinault etc,

Maybe I'll change my mind when I watch the rest but it's had some pretty grim tales amidst some pretty great scenery so far. Saddle sores so bad that blood's running down the legs? That's one tough guy to keep going but that's not why I ride [...]

Continuing the above train of thought but in general: although I enjoy watching some of it, I don't really see ordinary cyclists like me on the Bike Channel... but I guess bimbling uneventfully around Europe looking at beautiful things wouldn't have enough drama to go with the scenery to make much good TV before it got samey. There are a few travelogue shows on there but it's about the places visited more than the rides and they seem to like to complicate things with too much sponsored kit (Filippa, Cycling in Taiwan, ...).

It's in freesat but I doubt we'll see it on freeview... but I'm surprised that front runner is still on there, so what do I know?
