    is on Eurosport. Pretty shoddy coverage of the opening TT though, camera spent more time looking at the riders WAITING at the start wtf!
    rather than actually following the ones riding the course :eek:

    anyway the season is on the road now - wohoo!

    Schedule says live each day at 13:00 for an hour - but you know Eurosport - could be anything from Biathlon to Handball when you switch the TV on - they're unbelievable relaxed when it comes to following schedules.

    EDIT: Contrary to schedule on Eurosport website - apparently this is going to be repeated at 21:00 tonight (Eurosport 1)

    cool hopefully highlights (of them riding) without half of it footage of the start line ;)

    EDIT: no, looks like a re-run, waiting et all :rolleyes:

    Watching it last night they pretty much ignored Cervelo's last 2k and concentrated purely on the Sky team standing around talking! They only flipped back to Cervelo for the last 20 meters and I think poor quickstep got a collective 20seconds of coverage...

    He's not fit yet. A collection of an injury late last year ment he was late getting back on the bike coupled with horrendous weather. Currently he is about 2 weeks away from competitive action.

    Great stage today, was like watching a northern European classic only with sun.
    What happened to team Sky? decimated.

    how much coverage was there of todays stage, must have only been last hour or something yeah?

    turned on at 2:30pm and was over :(

    probably the 3hrs+ on GMT.

    Just over an hour of coverage, was finished at 14:00 here so 1pm Irish time.
    Magnus Backstedt was doing the commentary, thought he was very good.

    great stage today, was anything but a long flat snore fest, even had some rough roads (and punctures) to make it even more like the classics, great exciting stage compared to what I thought it might be.

    two guys with 2 min might be in with chance for the overall now :eek:
