Spoiled for choice today, as Algarve will have a live feed. Pity they couldn't be bothered when it counted.
16-00CET or there abouts.

    Haut Var looks pretty good:

    Two stages, two uphill finishes. Done and done. No faffing about.

    Startlist here: http://www.tourduhautvar.com/fra/2010/1 ... tants.html

    I'll be looking out to see how Sicard does. Dan Martin, too.

    Haut Var area is a great place to cycle - pretty lumpy, have not seen coverage of this in the past so hopefully this will come on asap - not showing yet it seems.
    Rai Tre are showing 50mins of the Trofeo Laigueglia at 4:30pm GMT today.

    Voeckler ftw.

    Who's the Sky rider in the break?

    Oh, it's Kennaugh. And Moreau, Sicard, Klostergaard, Taaramae, Valjavec, Duque... and others.

    Early days.....
    I wish they'd close the lens a bit. February sun makes for a dark picture.
    Rai have shifted the TL time? was to be 4pm...

    Even Algarve is live today, all or nothing.

    How far is there to go?

    Sky are quite active. First Kennaugh, then Swift, now Possoni. Even my non-existant French can make out the commentators talking about Sky's use of technology from their track background.

    Descent of penultimate climb now. So 20 odd km to go. Jerome Coppel of Saur Sojasun is out on his own.

    22kms, with a snaking decent into St Maxime, before the coast and up to Grimaud.

    I can see why Valv didn't want to risk it in this winter sunshine :roll:

    I've got Rai Tre on tv. Invested in a motorised dish to watch cycling.
    I found a link to their net, yesterday, but it's geo-restricted.

    (you can at least have a look)

    Btw: Disasterous news this week RTBF Sat ceased transmission on the 15th.
    We get a lot of net feeds from them. Het Volk/KBK for instance, next weekend.
    They may now go GR, too, as RTBF is not available outside Belgium. :(
