Oh great, it's nice weather according to Cyclingnews.

Come on rain and snow!

They've done the first 2 hours at over 47km/h. Ouch.

    He's got so much gear on he looks like the Michelin man at the moment.

    His hair's looking good though, a better level of curl than Boonen. Could be crucial in the closing stages.

    True, but there are rumours that Cancellara has benefitted from illegal coiffure-enhancing hair care products- in particular EPO (Enhanced Perm Oil) -and his girlfriend has been receiving unmarked, high-value packages from Laboratoires Garnier, Paris

    Its not too good but just what you expect from eurosport.How on earth can a motorcycle race over run by half an hour :shock: must be a head wind around the circuit :lol:

    I know man, this happens ALL the time!! They never ever get their timings right. Whats the bet they'll just keep running with motorcycling and then go to cycling later. Bloody hate this!!!! Might have to go to the Rapha-Paris Roubaix thing next week at this rate.

    The thing that boils me with eurosport is that even in the highlight programme they screw it up.Showing the last hour only do they not have any editors.It seems a great race and not too bad on the stream Im watching now.

    I'm not telling!

    TBH, I don't know and I'm afraid it will vanish.

    Woah -massive crash for Gomez (?)- looks nasty

    A hint about Eurosport: if you access the video via the main page it breaks up. If you access it via the cycling page, there are no problems.

    Eurosport internet feed fine me me - Just fired it up.

    Mind you, not for long because I've gotta attend a tour of the delivery suite at hospital soon. Why they can't do these things in the morning I don't know.

    Yeah I'm on the ES feed too. Pretty good for me. I tuned in just before the Koppenberg, did I miss a big crash earlier? What happened to Franzoi?

    Angel Gomez though... THAT was a crash...
