Carlton is now safe in my household. Dislike has firmly moved to Jez Cox. What a stupid boy he is and capable of spouting absolute pish.

Will it though ? Wasn't Ellingworth organising the ToB - but he left British Cycling to go back to Bahrain Victorious.
Who's organising it this year ? It's September but no route announced as yet ?
I may have an outdated view of all this, when I was a lad there was no cycling on TV, was it the 80s we first saw TDF on TV ? We read about the races in cycling weekly, I have been an avid watcher of free to air cycling coverage but I have never paid to watch it and never will, the beauty of cycling is the taking part in whatever form not the watching.

I cycled as a child but I had my bike stolen from school when I was 13 and didn't ride again until I was 33. What got me interested in cycling again was watching the Tour de France on TV in 1989. I'm sure that TV coverage has got many other people interested in the sport. You have to be interested in the sport to start with to be buying Cycling Weekly!
We oldies rode bikes around with our mates when we were kids but most parents these days are much more cautious about letting 8 or 9 year olds go off exploring on bikes without adult supervision. Many of us then didn't get lifts everywhere so our bikes were our transport.
Things are different now though so I think that losing cycling coverage is a BIG deal! I am going to miss it terribly but I am extremely reluctant to spend £31/month on it - that is about 15% of my monthly free cash!

Trying to put a positive spin on this, at £6.99 a month for the past year or so it's worked out at £84 for a year.
Now we can get 3 months for £93.
So we can spend more or less the same as before, and get say, two Grand Tours plus a month of Spring Classics.
And a few other races that fill up the months.
Not as good certainly, and requires keeping a close watch on your subscription dates, but its maybe one way to look at it.
