Working from home can sometimes be an isolating experience without the background noise of a busy office, but for three weeks every year, the Tour de France on Eurosport (daily, with highlights in the evening) is the ideal home companion.
Unlike Norman Tebbit's dad, I don't like getting on a bike myself – the saddle's way too thin and pointy, the chain keeps coming off, there's no roof – but the Tour de France exerts a hypnotic fascination, and Eurosport's coverage is an absolute joy. Firstly, it's great to look at.
Who knew for instance, that those polychrome tiles of Burgundy were a symbol of the region, that the different colours denote different things – green for the forest, red for wine – or that the more tiles you had, the richer you were? Rob Hatch knew, and delighted in telling us. Meanwhile, Carlton Kirby describes the red and yellow jerseys of Norwegian team Uno-X as “blood and custard”, while ex-pros Robbie McEwan, Adam Blythe and Dani King give fascinating insights into life on the road.
