Tour of California

Anyone watching it?

I found a website that allows you to watch it all live for free:

There's a live tracker, just for anyone who's interested at all.

Hmmm, I was watching this fine yesterday evening, now all I get is bloody adverts. When will the feed start!?

Pifko mentioned this yesterday.. I'm firing up Eurosport now..

Lance had his bike nicked. Should go in 'Stoilen Bikes' thread I suppose.

I did searches for Tour of California and nothing came out, must only have done it on Threads and not posts. Oh well.

Yeah, I don't have Eurosport, so the live tracker's pretty good. It'll be on from around 8-9am Cali time. So I think that's around 7-9 hours ahead of us. Sorry I'm being so vague, I just can't be arsed to look it all up for facts!

*Lance used to get his mechanic to look after his bike in the hotel room he was sleeping in rather than with all the other kit!

is anyone following this on eurosport today? sky guide tells me its on now but all I can see is snooker

Welcome to the wonderful world of Eurosport.

ha ha not uncommon then?

Sastre is 30 minutes off the pace. I would have thought CTT would have been going for these sort of races.

Sastre's objectives are much later in the season so it's no surprise to see him off the pace. He's normally a rider who only goes well when the weather is hot. Plus he crashed on the first day and lost a lot of time then.

Ah I see. Didn't know he'd crashed out.

He was good in the wet in Beijing though.

It was hot and wet in Beijing.

Its been raining HARD here for the past 3 days...must be a nightmare!....
the MASH crew are riding the same course a couple of hours ahead of the race... on fixed. Shooting for a new film we will be doing in the next couple of months. Check the blogs at mashsf.com & goincase.com... gonna be siiiick...or at least wet...

They're gonna be sick.. :)

Flandis hits the deck again.. loving the OUCH jersey karma..

Well done Cav

What a dust storm. Who came up with that stupid idea?

Bit early with his celebrations..
All the cars parked along the finish reminded me of crits back home.
"You'd never see that in the Tour!"

Cav looks rapid this year compared to the rest of the peleton if a little portly

For such a boring fucking stage.. that was a good, exciting finish.

that was fucking mental

CAVENDISH !!!!

Serriously boring stuff though, apart from that :(.

Cav wins second stage

Lance had his bike nicked. Should go in 'Stoilen Bikes' thread I suppose.

Kind of disappointing that he got it recovered... the new one has a nice addition:
