@millarmind I’ve really enjoyed your diary, ITV commentary and NSF pod. Thank you 😊

Took a couple of days, but final TdF Diary entry is written and going out this evening. Adieu. factorbikes.com/2025-tdf-diari…

@nedboulting …every stage live on the ITVX app and listened to each NSF podcast. Thank you so much for the fabulous coverage this year and over the years. You’ve become a friend to many of us and you’ll be missed in a measurement yet to be agreed. Thank you @nedboulting 😊

@nedboulting I finished my own Tour de France today, 2800km from Saint-Malo via Nantes, La Rochelle, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Carcassonne, Sete, Lyon, Chalon-sur-Saone and finishing in Angers due to a mechanical I couldn’t repair. I’m in St Malo ready to catch the ferry tomorrow. I’ve watched…

@nedboulting @neverstraysfar I’m on a cycle tour around France and staying in Nevers tonight. I Googled to see if a town called Traysfar existed to twin it with.

@nedboulting I’m loving everything about the coverage this year, you’re absolutely right, it’s very special.

I’m currently riding my own Tour de France. Left St-Malo 6 June & have cycled 2100km so far, down to Nantes & La Rochelle, then Bordeaux, Toulouse, Carcassonne & Sète then north through Lyon. I’m now at Chalon-sur-Saône with 1000km back to St-Malo. Loving the coverage #yourtour

@lizziedeignan @nedboulting @neverstraysfar @millarmind This is so exciting, I’m so pleased you’re part of it.

Excited to be annoncing the first ‘life after pro cycling’ plan! In 2026 I’ll be joining Ned & David in a series of Never Strays Far Live in France 🇫🇷 specials covering the Tour de France & Tour de France Femmes. Join us neverstraysfar.com

@nedboulting Fabulous!!

@neverstraysfar One of my favourite cities, I ended up staying for three months on my first visit. Enjoy 😊

A stroll around Siena. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/nev…

@nedboulting Fabulous. If all goes to plan I'll be on a three month cycle tour around France over the summer months. I was hoping to take you with me, in my ears at least.

@itvcycling Can we have On a Ragga Tip to close the highlights show?

Romain Bardet 🤝 Frank van den Broek That was something special 🤩 #TDF2024

Mercian Cycles saved as four local businessmen confirm purchase of iconic bike manufacturer following last month’s liquidation The new owners also confirmed that the company’s craftsmen will be retained road.cc/309121 #cycling

@itvcycling I would love to see Tadej win but he's had COVID after the Giro, who knows whether that will impact him adversely. Cav, Tom, Fred, Derek and Ben to win stages.

Two days to go, time to lock in your predictions: who will win the #TDF2024? 🔮 If you're backing someone else, let us know in the replies! 💬

@itvcycling @nedboulting @millarmind @Petekennaugh @mrendell @friebos @jacopoguarnieri @CadelOfficial @ITVSport Can't wait!! Is there a web page showing the broadcast times for each day? I've been searching but haven't found anything.

Introducing The ITV Sport Tour de France team for the 2024 edition 🥁 A big welcome to Lotto Dstny rider Jacopo Guarnieri 👏 We'll let you work out who's doing what roles on the road 😉

@AnnamacB Noooo! What a shame, they had won the Tour if they had worn that, regardless of any performance.

💔 We’ve been denied the most beautiful jersey and I’m not even over it. #TDF2024

@robynjournalist Best kit so far.

THE JAYCO ALULA KIT ISN’T BLUE WE WON

@nedboulting @PhilLiggett Phil is the only person I’ve ever asked for an autograph, although he appeared to have signed it T.W.Grit 😊

@daniellloyd1 @AdamBlythe89 @SportsOrla @mcewenrobbie @gcntweet @carltonkirby @SeanKellyCC You'll be missed Dan. I've enjoyed your commentary and insights, thank you. All the best.

As some of you will have read/seen, we recently regained financial and editorial control of PSN (PlaySportsNetwork) from Warner Bros Discovery, which means some changes for me. I could never have imagined when I joined GCN at its inception in 2012 that we'd go from a small start-up YouTube channel, to multiple channels with many millions of subscribers, billions of views, to starting a successful subscription service that showed the biggest races in the world and a heap of amazing cycling documentaries. GCN’s journey with Eurosport and live racing is something I’ll never forget - we achieved a hell of a lot in a very short time. I think we made some really positive changes for cycling, and I will always be very proud of that. However, it's been a tough 8 months or so for GCN - the shuttering of GCN+, and now the website, has meant we've lost a lot of very talented, hard working colleagues who are incredibly passionate about the sport. The show must go on, though. GCN is still full of amazing people, and more importantly, supported by an incredible community of cyclists. I firmly believe that the next part of our journey will be more exciting than ever - I want to be part of, and instrumental in that next adventure, the next chapter. Unfortunately, that means I will no longer be on The Breakaway or Eurosport’s cycling commentary. It's a part of my job that I will dearly miss, but more than that, I will miss the fantastic group of people (on screen/mic and off) who I had the privilege of working with there for the last few years. I really couldn't have asked for a better team to spend three weeks at a time with. Thanks to all of you who have been so kind in your messages of support for GCN these last few months - it's really meant the world to everyone at the company. As an aside, I know a lot of you have been waiting for the GCN+ documentaries to find a new home, and the good news is that they'll be available again via a YouTube membership that we're setting up LATER TODAY. I'm heading out to Florence this week for the Grand Départ, so I look forward to bumping into some of you there. Thanks for reading. Dan

@ElayneWkg @nedboulting @millarmind @Petekennaugh @neverstraysfar 😂

@RichardHardwick @nedboulting @millarmind @Petekennaugh @neverstraysfar Absolute travesty. You would rock that wallpaper Visma jersey.

I haven’t been selected for the Tour de France again this year, a bit gutted to be honest. Instead I’ll be watching @nedboulting, @millarmind and @Petekennaugh on the telly and listening to @neverstraysfar each day 😎

@GLBrown321 @FDJ_SUEZ Grace Brown attacks! Loved watching you race, all the best.

To my fans, supporters, colleagues, friends, and competitors, I have some news to share with you all...
