Oh the dilemma, what to watch.....Cricket World Cup Final, British GP, Wimbledon Men's Final or the Tour de France. No wonder my head hurts, Guess it'll have to be fingers on the button and perhaps radio and head phones too.wink

    We will record the Grand Prix (out to lunch in Southampton) and watch it later. There will be enough snippets on the evening news of the rest to satisfy me!!!

    TDF until GP starts, then put TDF on record and watch GP live. Not overly bothered about the rest.😀

    Tuesday's the rest day. There are usually a couple of mountain stages on the weekend leading up to the rest day, however there are 3 this year.

    It's worth recording the Formula 1 GP as it is easy to fast forward the now inevitable boring procession unless Max Verstappen is on form.

    We always watch the Tour de France highlights in the evening but can’t imagine wanting to sit through 200km+.

    Haven’t watched an F1 race in years, not since the whinging Hamilton started to dominate.

    Will probably keep an eye on the cricket and tennis during the day - both should be great finals.

    Good to see Halep win so convincingly yesterday. Nice to see someone who can move about the court with athleticism, accuracy and power - well done Simona, well deserved.

    No tv in the van so choices are Egyptian PT, Blanket pressing (a favourite in the army) or singlehanded scrabble.  Which one won?

    What a Wonderful  day of Sport !! Everybody was on top of their game at Lord's, especially the two on pitch Umpires. So very pleased they knew the ins and outs of the Rule Book, and duly got the Credit for it  smile.

    Mens Singles at Wimbledon was a superb exhibition --  Two fine sportsmen, of advancing years but never a toe out of place while I was watching anyway wink

    I think you would have ended up watching most of it today, a very exciting race. Second one in a row, goodness me!!!
