Wonder how Yates feels about it, not necessarily what he says

I’m reasonably confident that I watched the 84 Tour on channel 4 but it was some time ago. 86 was brilliant, Hinault not quite playing ball after Lemond let him win in 85.
Cheers. Shame about Sherwen, he was a knowledgable chap and good to listen to. I rang Channel 4 and the lady said 1985 but she didn't seem that sure.I found this from 86 but nothing earlier. I've heard Paul Sherwen talk about joining C4 (as a result of C4 wanting to increase its coverage, suggesting that they had been doing short highlights previously) and his relationship with Liggett. I think that happened in 86 too, in parallel with his pro riding career at first.
"Sherwen teamed up with Liggett in 1986, when C4 became the first British broadcaster to offer daily race coverage. " https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/dec/10/paul-sherwen-obituary

Blimey! Thought his best chance was yesterday. He's from Bury, Greater Manchester, not sure that we'll be doing very well trying to match a local wine!
It was only after 1982 that private broadcasters got the right to show highlights and occasional live action... I remember it being shown in 84 when Robert Millar won some mountain stages... not sure which channel tbh?

If you were watching the coverage today you may have spotted a large, squat grey building next to the roundabout on the exit from Ruoms. This is the HQ of the Vignerons d’Ardèche, which has a large permanent exhibition devoted to wine-making and also a shop attached. Devotees of boring blathering will be delighted to learn that I have indeed been to the latter. Sadly, nothing I bought was memorable - but I’m sure the wines of Louis Latour would have been there, and by coincidence his HQ was passed by the tour some minutes earlier. So two reasons to suggest one of his wines, and now a third - a money-generating Amazon link for Tony.
Before long Amazon will literally sell everything, ie they will be the only retailer on the planet. God help you if they close your account, you will have to buy anything you need on the black market. Amazon account forgers will be the next super-rich criminals.Is there absolutely nothing Amazon won't sell? They'll be selling pieces of the True Cross next.
