I get a link saying I can watch 8am Monday...

I don't suppose a live link is possible-the German one above doesn't seem very helpful

Yeah, looking at that internet link thingy it's wall to wall MotoGP! We rest our case for the prosecution! There is some weird cycling thing on between 2.30pm and 3.30pm, but I'm sure nobody will have to suffer the whole 60 minutes as MotoGP will overrun a bit.

The team car draw for the cavalcade tomorrow in order of position. I bet Silence-Lotto are apoplectic:

Saunier Duval
Tinkoff
Française des Jeux
Barloworld
Quick.Step
Slipstream
Cofidis
CSC
Cycle Collstrop
Agritubel
Milram
Crédit Agricole
Caisse d'Epargne
Rabobank
Euskaltel
Bouygues Telecom
AG2R
Gerolsteiner
Lampre
Landbouwkrediet
Liquigas
Silence-Lotto
Skil
High Road
Topsport Vlaanderen

And there's High Road right at the back, I bet they're a bit annoyed, with Hincapie as a contender for the race.

Looks like there'll just be patches of rain and not a general downpour. Apologies for obsessing over this, but I would love to see a muddy edition and not the usual dry ones we've had for the past few races.

Ah Red. I was just starting to come around to your point of view on some things, and then this!

It's going to be raining most of the night and early morning; no rain during the day will ensure the TV people can transmit pictures of the ensuing mudfest & crashes.

Surely Hincapie has got a chance? Better than most of the field at least.

It's Cancellara I want for the win anyway.

Looks nice and dry at the moment unfortunately.

Watching the sputnik feed, but when does the international eurosport coverage start ? I want to listen to the Harmonater, but the eurosport audio feed is currently MotoGP

ricadus

I think it's on in about 15 minutes. Some fat grey clouds on the horzizon at the moment should time it perfectly for Eurosport*.

*edit – oh dear, they're going to show a 125 race now.... just as Pozzato has almost clawed his way back to the leaders.

meagain

Was it not scheduled for 15.30, after the 125, anyway?

ricadus

The motorbikes were delayed by the wave of rain that should have been over Lille this morning, so who knows when it's going to be on.

sing_for_absolution

Well, looks like the rain won't be happening.

ricadus

Balan is either suffereing or riding a smart race - I've seen him on the front just once today.

ricadus

And just as I type that, there he goes.

Eurosport must have bought the raining rights.
