    Nice finish, if a little short. Same time tomorrow.

    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.

    Do you have a link for RAI?

    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. :(

    Re rtbf - I'd noticed that and the channel now just shows a test card, re geo restrictions - I'm sure thrre is a way areund that, may need to check but over the past 2 years or so their coverage of cycling has reduced a lot, used to show near everything, mid-week semi-classics especially but they show a lot less now.

    Very bad news that RTBF Sat has gone. They showed a lot of the Belgian races that were not on Sat otherwise. However http://www.sporza.be/cm/sporza/wielrennen# show most Belgian stuff life without geo restrictions.

    The finish:

    A little tougher than yesterday, but I think Nocentini will be able to hang on.

    CET. It's live now. Looks like the break is about to be caught, so it's all back together on the last but one climb

    Edit: Oh hang on, there are 4 more in front.

    Make that 6. I'm talking nonsense. Danielson, Moncoutie, Sicard, Coppel, Di Gregorio, Gautier... maybe.

    Can't believe I have to go out now and miss this finish and Algavre (Contador should finish in about 15mins)

    I know it's off topic but does anyone have any news from the first stage of the Ruta?

    The ticker from the Ruta has stopped working. Last update was 12 minutes ago with 2km to go... must be a reeeeeeeeally steep finish.

    About to get interesting in Haut Var...

    Sergio Pardilla from Carmiooro wins in the Ruta. Van den Broeck 2nd @ 10".

    Great finish.

    LE MEVEL wins the stage.

    Le Mevel wins... JUST. Fedrigo 2nd, which was impressive, seeing as went on a solo break earlier. That was steep too :shock:

    I only caught the last 50m, as my feed kept sticking. :x
    I don't suppose the climb will turn up in any net clips.
    C le M wins the GC, too.
