    Moi aussi.
    The 4 weekend stages look cracking. Not bad tomorrow either.
    Lots of T-A coverage.

    Not really a heavyweight top 10 without Carlos "Burger van" Betancur..

    According to Friebe, neither RAI commentators or post-race interviewers brought up any issues at Sky.

    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Sky's wheelgate.
    BMC were on them as well.
    Rai were live with over 100kms to go.
    They certainly have pushed the boat out as much as Paris-Nice have reeled the boat in.

    On that subject, Kirby has just confirmed every stage of the Tour will be on Eurosport, live from gun to tape.

    This would be good news for someone starting a new job in June that allows them to work from home pretty much whenever they want.

    Go read the CW article in the Kimmage thread.
    It's currently viewed as a non story in Italy, Belgium, German etc.
    Many Sky fanbois in Eyetalia, too.

    Am I right in thinking this should finish a fair bit earlier than P-N today?

    Did have a multiscreen setup planned but my girlfriend has absconded with the ipad charger...

    He's been on the Amaretto and Amarone della Valpolicella.
    Flipping awful.

    P-A is only about 15 minutes behind T-A max.

    He's also stated that Italians are insular and always fighting each which is why they have city walls...

    It was the bit where he was talking about troglodytes...

    Now multiscreening with P-N, cheers for the tip.

    Only a couple of km difference between the 2 races at the moment, although I guess lots of climbing on Paris-Nice.

    Break caught (T-A)

    Either my eurosport is delayed or you're 8 seconds early... ;)

    Shout out to my man Grivko who's been in the break all day

    I think the break was at 10s when I posted that, so I guess I meant "as good as caught"...
