Well, I spent 29.95 for the Cycling TV subscription just to make sure I had a feed, and money well spent. I've already got a really nice live feed with 200 k to go... well worth it if you've got the spare cash and no other way to see it.

Cancellara bike change already... Cavendish as well!

shame thats about the only live race you get for your money. just highlights for the rest of the year.

30 dollars per race. A grim look at the future for all of us =/

Yeah, I've got people coming over today to watch; big PR party going and even though it seems like a waste of money I just wanted to ensure I was going to have SOMETHING. I could just see being cheap about it and then for some reason nothing else was unrestricted! :eek:

It was WAY better last spring season; actually got a lot of stuff for the money. This year it's really just PR and Brabantse-Pijl, other audio feeds. Oh well, I've spent the same amount of money on WAY more foolish stuff... :)

Cycling on PayTV only ... courtesy of @TeamSky ....

dont blame them, blame the host broadcasters that are shutting down streams, deleting highlights videos and launching copyright claims.
 
all the expected favourites ( cancellara, boonen, hushovd etc ). teams that shall dominate will be bmc and sky. Hopefully garmin can do something they have picked a few good classic helpers who also would double as people who can win. Don't like the fact riders like Cav and Greipel are there. hopefully de gendt and sagan can put in a good showing. Go all the aussies too.

Seriously, making Euskaltel ride this race is silly. Any number of PC teams that would be a better addition for a race like today...

I share the strange desire to see Hincapie win. Would love to see Ballan turn the race upside down for him.

And as for Thor, he needs to respect the jersey. I think he probably hates Vaughters and his new step-brother teammates.

same with first bit. I wonder if Thor would have came if riders like wiggins were still at Garmin?

Meh, if NFL, NBA, FIFA and UEFA haven't managed to really make a dent against unlicensed online streams, I wouldn't worry much about the UCI being more successful.

Yes but where do you usually go for your live streams? teamskyfans.com ...

I use the free teamskyfans.com and my feed is great. Have one of my laptops hooked up to the flat screen and my surround sound. Dim has a great thing going there, and I am really appreciative of his efforts to bring us races.

why are lotto sending 3 riders up the road already? Are they admitting that they have nobody who could do something in this race?

Like Vrendas and their effort at the RVV last week.

Big hold up in sector 22.
