If enough of us petition Eurosport, do you think we could make them show this instead of the Tour de France? It would almost certainly be more interesting :wink:

It started today in China and looks like it has some good (OK and some dodgy) riders... Astana reject Mizurov just won the prologue, Danilo Hondo is there, former Crédit Agricole dope-fiend Fofonov, Serhiy Honchar(!!!), as well as the new British champ Kristian House.

Plus the route is amazing as ever. Every day is a mountain day in the TDQL, and check out the altitude and elevation in the stage profiles:

COME ON EUROSPORT, PUT US OUT OF OUR MISERY!!

    Doesn't seem to have quite as good a line-up of teams and riders in others year, but still a cracking race.

    I see Fofonov is riding for the Kazak team, so be interesting to see if any pro teams pick him up again for next season.
