But it's definitely something I would consider if I thought there was a demand for it and that I'd get away with it....

In the past I've had to remove a few videos due to threats of legal action. I'm not sure where I would stand with ITV4 and what they would think about me uploading complete episodes like this. I'm getting away with it at the moment but I wouldn't want to draw too much attention to myself and end up having to remove all of these famous Cav victories. I'd be worried about that if I started uploading entire Tours.

But I never intended this to become a Cav fanpage. First and foremost I'm a fan of the sport, which is why I don't put Mark Cavendish in the title of the video as I wouldn't want to spoil the enjoyment of anyone who just stumbled across the video, unaware of my Cav agenda haha. I have all the other stages from the last few tours de france so I could upload them if there is a demand for it, although I'm a little wary of copyright infringement.

no probs chaps

Yes Beatroot, it's pretty difficult for me to disguise my admiration for Cav :) A while ago I thought I'd start uploading his big wins, being a Brit it made me so proud to see this guy dominating, I never ever thought I would see the day a Brit was one of the biggest names in road cycling. But I couldn't find many decent quality vids on youtube so decided I would rectify that. I have a few more vids to upload but most of them are on my channel now.

Thanks again, John.
