question for Orla here

will sky be showing a highlights programme of the tour?? along the lines of what youve done with the Giro

enjoying the highlights weve had on sky so far this year.

Keep up the good work

Ahh, so now folk want coverage after having a pop! Hashtag cheeky smiles etc…!

We won’t be covering the Tour as we did the Giro this year, since we don’t have the broadcast rights.

We’ll be there as much as possible from a sports news point of view though.

Hope you guys are looking forward to it as much as me. Sure you are!

Well done SkyOrla for getting involved here, that is a very dangerous game. Small beer perhaps, but I will say it anyway, as a Non subscriber and genuine sky broadcasting agnostic, I will take the trouble to view Sky’s coverage at some point in the future when I almost certainly wouldn’t have bothered before. Good luck to you.

Don’t you just love
Don’t you just love witnessing a good, old-fashioned climbdown? Good work Orla, I enjoyed this thread more than most!

Farrell, you’ll never make an internet troll mate. 😉

You appear to enjoy your work and you clearly know your stuff and a lot of your pictures are actually quite interesting so lord only knows what got my kecks in twizzle that day, I’ve probably just got myself confused with a different reporter.

I am a tosser.

Confused with another ‘Orla’ who covers cycling? Nice try! I’m all for free speech and have developed an incredibly thick skin in this game though, so don’t worry.

Genuinely love this sport and work very hard at it, so hope that’ll come across if you get a chance to catch our coverage.

In the meantime all, here’s to the Tour…

If we are talking annoying, sorry to day but Declan made the Giro hard listening.

HARD is an understatement, many a stage I had to mute. I don’t mind ONE Irish man speaking nonsense. But when Declan and Sean get going. They bounce off each other and they might aswell be talking about extreme ironing, for all the interest I had in them.

He BETTER be gone before the TdF, Eurosport need to employ me for a fan’s voice :D

David Harmon is due back for the TdF.

For me it was the lack of general cycling knowledge that frustrated me.

This is a long winded attempt
This is a long winded attempt at a chat up line imho 😉

Insult the lady, then offer to buy her a drink as an apology 🙂

Only joking.

That’s fine. I understand. We
That’s fine. I understand. We take behind-the-scenes pictures to promote our coverage and access though, not to take its place.

I’ve been covering cycling for a number of years and this is the biggest race we’ve covered in such a way, so it’s a shame you didn’t manage to catch it. All feedback is genuinely welcome.

Hopefully the number of retweeted pictures means those who did watch actually enjoyed it. Maybe not though!

And no need for a beer on the Champs Élysées, I’m afraid I’ll be too busy working!
