So I'm setting the PVR for Sunday and what do I discover that Le Tour will only be broadcast from 17:30. This means it will not be live. They would rather have EUFA Womens soccer on amongst other things instead of the tour. Is it too late to rally against DSTV again.

Are you sure?

I heard somewhere that the final stage will be an early evening finish with the Champs Élysées lit up and the Arch d'Triomphe in yellow lights.

First I hear of that, its only starting at 17:30 on SS214 and 206. Just tweeted them to ask what up with that.

According to www.letour.fr the stage starts at 18:15. France is on the same timeline as SA. They going to ride in the dark all the way.

Around the Arc-de-Triomphe

 

"It's the final day, and it's going to be incomparable in the strictest sense because we really wanted to pay full tribute at the end of this 100th edition. From the sporting perspective, there shouldn't be too many surprises: it's difficult to imagine the sprinters missing out! And if that sprinter happens, for the fifth consecutive occasion, to be called Mark Cavendish, then that really would be an extraordinary exploit. From the celebratory point of view, we have an unforgettable route, which will start in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles, pass the monument to Jacques Anquetil, then go through the courtyard of the Louvre, before turning not in front of but around the Arc de Triomphe. The finish will be at dusk, at around 9.45pm. It will be magical..."

Question is will it be 1000 or 2000 lumen lights?
