Last year, I developed a new sporting interest. In common with many others in the UK, I found myself glued to the TV highlights for the Tour de France, followed by the various cycling events at the London 2012 Olympic Games, the Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a, and even taking a day out to watch the Tour of Britain<\/a>. I haven’t got a road bike yet (hoping to get one soon – I’ve entered a trialthlon later in the year and am hoping to ride London to Paris next year) but I was looking forward to watching the Giro d’Italia<\/a>. At least, I was until I found out it’s not available on free-to-air TV:<\/p>\n
