[Zinoviev Letter]

Dan Martin tweets that he won't be taking part after all.

thread appropriation?

Hey Eshnar, since you appropriated my thread, is that (thread appropriation by another poster) SOP on this board? "A proper thread" you say - define please.

Just askin', since I don't get on here much.

Your thread is still on the Board--just look farther down the first page. No mod has combined the threads yet. And Eshnar's reference to a "proper thread" was not a reference to your thread not being a proper one. How could it be when he made that post a month before you started your thread?

 

[cleverhans]

You are correct, my bad. Seems I'm the guilty one. Sorry, Eshnar

agree and Eshnar was probably joking as well..people do joke around here lol

 

[Eshnar]

I was also referring to the fact that my thread had the correct title while yours hadn't.
A lot of people here seem to fail to spell that correctly. It's Strade Bianche, not Bianchi. Nor Biancche (It's quite funny the number of ways I saw that written )

Anyway just playing around, it's not like I'm interested in claiming threads properties

 

[gingerwallaceafro]

I think Liquigas have a good chance tomorrow, Nibali or Sagan FTW.

 

[XlandaluzeX]

there will be TV live coverage for this ?

yes.Rai3, rai sport 2 gazzetta-tv , eurosport .

 

[TeoSheva]

yes.rai3, rai sport 2 gazzetta-tv , eurosport .

great!!!!!!

 

[Swingtop]

Sporza too, for the Dutch speaking audience.

 

[El Pistolero]

Aw I only have Rai Uno, good fight. Anyway, Sporza it is, but I was hoping to watch some other Italian races on Rai, but I guess they don't show cycling on Rai Uno? Every time I watch it's cooking

No, never on Raiuno... It's just Raisport(2) or Rai3 (only the most important races)

2.30pm (uk time) Eurosport 2 in the UK & Ireland. Starts 8mins earlier (15.22 cet) apparently elsewhere in europa

 

[mewmewmew13]

I don't speak Flemish or anything similar but I love watching the classics on sporza!

ooh lalalala

 

[greenedge]

Glad that the race is showing on Eurosport in Australia.

I cannot stand the commentators at times though ( but it will be made up for by Gilbert/ Ballan Vs the rest )

 

[rgmerk]

SBS live streaming

SBS are streaming it live, presumably with English commentary (dunno who's, though).

Another option for Aussies who don't have a subscription to pay TV for Eurosport.

Not Matt Keenan as he is in France. Possibly Ant McCrossan?

Really looking forward to tonights race!

me too, and now the sound of that announcers voice has become the standard in my head when I see cycling, and they had Johan Museeuw with him last time, don't know what he was saying but loved the sound of his voice too

Depends when the tennis finishes

 

[Lexman]

Why doesn't OPQS participate in this race, Boonen must enjoy it as do Ciolek Terpstra, Steegmans etc..

only few team can partecipate... due to money reason and to narrow street

 

[canyonball]

Countdown mode.

Let's see where Gilbert's form stands. My take: He has no chance against the young and brave Battaglin

 

[El Pistolero]

Boonen isn't really specialized in Italian races anyway. He has only won one race on Italian soil in his entire career. When asked what the difference is between Italian and Flemish races he will always say Italian races explode in the final 10km while Flemish races already explode with 60km to go.
