    The first one's working for me (in the UK) but I can't get it to go full screen :cry:

    Best bet is rtbf.
    The tv station is now live, so I imagine the net feed is up.
    Definitely goes full screen.
    A mere 94kms to go.....
    Also should be good for the Brabantse Pijl, tomorrow, from around 2pm GMT. :wink:
    No FTA tv of this race, tomorrow, as it is on RTBF "Deux", not Sat.

    rtbf is definitely playing up, today.
    64kms to go and not much has happened.....

    Boonen just had a stretch of his legs on the Taaienberg... who was chasing him? Heinrich Haussler of course!

    Another feed here:


    http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-rtbf-sport.html

    You can go fullscreen with that one, although it's kinda fuzzy, and also has the most uninterested sounding commentator I've ever heard. He makes Sean Kelly sound like one of those mad guys you hear doing South American football.

    Daniel Lloyd just crashed. Didn't see what happened, but he stayed down and looks like he's out of the race. Hopefully he isn't injured badly.

    The sporza commentator sounds like he's introducing "smooth dinner jazz" or something! Such a deep voice!

    Still, at least they have the sound effects on - copter, silly car horns, crazy belgians cheering for St Tom...

    Wow, Pozzato beats Boonen in a three-up sprint. Ol' Tommeke has really lost his zip.

    Just what I was thinking! He's not having a particularly good start to classics season.

    That said, he'll probably peak nicely for Flanders and P-R

    I think it was simply a case of who was less knackered. The sprint didn't look particularly fast - 200km in Belgium is apparently tougher than 300km in Italy.

    At least Boonen seems in good form in the post-race interviews on Sporza.

    He said he used the wrong gear and there was a headwind, so he was stuffed.

    Very neat new feature at sporza: now already, just after the finish, video summaries of all the main climbs and the final sprint (click the video icons at the route profile)! http://www.sporza.be/cm/lmc/wielrennen/ ... /1.496048#

    It didn't look like a particularly hard race, though. I mean, I know all races in Belgium are hard, but Boonen, Pozzato and Iglinskiy were basically riding tempo for the last 15km. They didn't have to cover any attacks or anything like that. It was pretty boring stuff actually.

    I think Boonen is now definitely more of a classics man than a sprinter. He's following the path of Museeuw. He came 15th in MSR, didn't even bother in T-A. Maybe he sees Cavendish and thinks 'what's the point'?

    It's a real shame, but maybe you're right.

    He also "I want some sunshine and warm weather" several times in the TV interview, adding "I need it to regain my explosiveness".

    Haussler wasn't quite on that top form he was in on Wednesday.

    Looks like Boonen's got it completely in the bag. He made the race today and has by far and away the strongest team. If he can't win it for Quick-Step, which seems extremely unlikely, I'm sure Devolder will step up.
    Note: the above post is an opinion and not fact. It might be a lie.
