So, a downhill prologue in Colorado.
I wonder if they will have any bermed or rocky singletrack sections.

yea was on last night.. It was a bit weird. They had those tracking image things they use in nascar racing. Would be pretty cool if they could get it to work for a few riders in a break etc..
It's being broadcast live, mostly on Eurosport 2, so a couple of hours from around 9pm here all week.0 -

But there were no suicidal breaks - ergo the local favourite gets the prize.
Even if you get into a suicidal Tour break, if you're not French, you're going to have to put in a special ride to get the red number.0 -

Exactly. Hoogerland and Flecha had to arrange to get knocked over by a car to stop Tommy V getting the number on the road to Saint- Flour'This week I 'ave been mostly been climbing like Basso - Shirley Basso.'0 -
The finale best be good today coz its desperately boring so far..0

Was a bit dull until 4kms to go. I would like to have seen Leipheimer win like that in a European race.0

The Vail TT stage provides a little era comparison to 1987..1500ft, 16km. Andy Hampsten held the course record of 26:33.43 set during the 1987 Coors Classic until Ben Day broke it at the 2008 Teva Mountain Games with a ride of 25:48, which is also when Chris Baldwin rode the course in 26:29.

Appaling coverage. Does not bode well for the race does it?
Was not great yesterday either.
Actually feel sorry for Carlton Kirby (who normally annoys the c**p out of me) and Brian Smith having to keep commentary going.0 -
Even the Italians are better than this.
Why do they bother if they can't do a proper job? Wasn't quite as dull today either.Saracen Tenet 3 - 2015 - Dead - Replaced with a Hack Frame
