I’ve been feeling sad today at the end of ITV’s superb coverage of the #TourdeFrance, but I wanted to say a huge thank you to @nedboulting.bsky.social and the #itvcycling team for being such great companions over the years. I love this sport and you can tell they do too. Chapeau, you lovely people.

I feel bereft ... the Tour de France is over, no 7.00 pm highlights 😢🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️ #TdF #itvcycling

Thank @nedboulting.bsky.social David, Gary and everyone at #ITVCycling for your wonderful coverage of this brilliant race #TDF so long and thanks for all the Châteaus #NSF

Last Night of The Tour.
Conducted by Matt Rendell.
#ITVCycling. Montmartre #tdf

Fabulous last stage of #TDF2025 but sadly I plunged even lower despite picking the winner @velogames.bsky.social @joeearley.bsky.social merci beaucoup @nedboulting.bsky.social #ITVCycling @pam-polly.bsky.social

Blistering ride from my favourite rider at the #TdF2025 today. Gutted that @nedboulting.bsky.social and Dave won’t be back next year. But thank you for years of peerless commentary, and what a way to sign off #itvcycling

an end of an era ... so sad that there'll be no more
ITV cycling coverage of the Tour de France. Thank you for the years and so many highlights wrapped up in those closing credits ! #itvcycling #TDF2025 #cycling #TDF

Merci #ITVcycling 💛

Last day of watching Tour de France on free to view with the excellent ex C4 ITV4 team. You will be missed. #tdf #itvcycling

Sad day today. No more free-to-air #tdf in the UK. I’ll miss the brilliant #ITVcycling coverage.

It is possible to love something so much, that you also dislike it #ITVCycling #Couchpeloton #TdF2025 Stage 21

Seriously I'm emotional watching that. And I haven't even finished watching Stage 20 highlights show yet. I paused to write the daily #tdf133 poem and check out some posts. Stage 21 will be emotional. Allez allez allez au revoir #itvcycling

#SaturdayKitchen Re #TDFF2025 on #ITVcycling, if the media start saying "bon appétit" rather than "cannibal" to #Pogačar, maybe he will go back to RACING & end the recent boredom!? My WalkaboutsVerse #poem on "One-Pot Cooking" walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2011/03/walk...

#ITVcycling Glad to see the efforts made to make the road surfaces smooth for the cyclists (plus cars, of course), & that the #TDF2025 is a #TourDeFrance ONLY; my WalkaboutsVerse #poem on "Nationalism Without Conquest" walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2011/04/walk...

When the book you are reading talks about going up Mont Ventoux and today the TdF goes up Mont Ventoux... spooky. My book has nothing to do with cycling! #SimonMcCleave #books #reading #TDF2025    #itvcycling

Enjoyed the #ITVcycling #TourdeFrance pieces tonight on alleged greenwashing by TotalEnergies and ongoing investigation into an Ineos employee. Definite end of term "zero f***s given" feel to it - I somewhat doubt we'll be treated to such journalism on TNT next year...

Watching the Tour de France has been a part of my summer for well over 30+ years. My Dad introduced me. Getting sad that the tradition is about to come to end with the #TdF going pay-to-view. The guys at ITV team are so knowledgeable. I think I might shed a tear when it comes to an end #ITVcycling

#ITVcycling Mark Cavendish may be happy that #TadejPogačar/the new "Cannibal" seems to have had indigestion the last couple of #TDF2025 stages! My #poem on "My Diet" walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2010/04/poem...

Re #TDF2025 on #ITVcycling, Oscar Onley "Scottish cyclist" & Ben Healy "Irish cyclist" both sound like polite young English; I've made an effort with my pronunciation but seem forever to be the "Aussie (enemy)" since "Repatriating - Australia to England"? walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2010/02/walk...

Can't decide whether to give @nedboulting.bsky.social 11/10 or -1/10 for that "Vingegaard's biggest fan" joke 😂 #ITVcycling #TourdeFrance

Beautiful. La Bastide d'Armagnac.

2 days of Le Tour to catch up on, due to whole evening out at Sheffield Grand Prix cycling yesterday. Now watching Toulouse - Toulouse. Nice to hear church bells at 64km in the highlights #itvcycling

All the charities advertising relentlessly for money off ordinary people on the #ITVcycling coverage of #TDF2025 should NOT exist - such aid should come, rather, from the #UnitedNations, each nation & taxation - my WalkaboutsVerse #peom on "Tax" walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2011/03/walk...

Love *everything* about the rest day highlights. I shall miss this delightful nonsense (but of course, it isn't nonsense, it's brilliant). #tdf #tdf2025 #itvcycling

Tv's Gary Imlach in a pedalo

"Imlach in Pedalo, I know, I know, it's serious" #TDF #ITVCycling @nedboulting.bsky.social

The pedalo feature! The greatest TdF feature ever? This is what they’re taking from us. #ITVcycling #TheCycling
