For the first time, I can remember, the GP Plouay isn't being shown live on France 3. There is a net feed link, as there was for Limousin and is for Pitou Charente, but these appear to be geo restricted.
So, if anybody comes up with a working link, today.....

Big hand to Emma Pooley for winning the women's edition, yesterday. Quite a season this youmg lady is having.

    myp2p.eu will have a link to the race later today.

    The women's race was on yesterday, wasn't geo-restricted. I didn't watch more than 5 minutes because the race didn't seem that interesting. Idiot!

    Good on Pooley for a solo breakaway win, a 2min30 gap is impressive by anyone's standards.

    Thanks for the link - watching it now.

    Also great to be able to see coverage of TP-C :D

    Nice sprint win for Simon Gerrans from a breakaway that also included Fedrigo and Dan Martin.

    Martin looks in good form ahead of the Vuelta.

    Pooley is a really great rider. She attacked "to liven up the race" - pure quality. She was ahead by 2.30 at the end.

    She inspired Gerrans:
