RTP2 are apparently broadcasting very brief highlights packages, but no international broadcasts - depended on money from Turismo de Portugal, who have decided on using alternative means to promote the region.

Yeah I remember how he was lying on the beach the week before he found out he was riding the Giro a few years back and the lack of training really affected his performance.

+1

I'm not sure that he'll win it since he's obviously been going through a very stressful period (as opposed to sitting on the beach), but he certainly could. Should be interesting to see if there are any issues within the team. I know if I was one of the Saxo riders from last year who didn't go to Leapord, I sure wouldn't be very happy with all the ruckus his whole affair has caused...

TBH although I'm glad he's riding again, in a way it's taking the fun out of the season a bit. Questions on the forum like "So who'll win the Giro/Vuelta/Tour/Volta di/de/a ..." have deflatingly ready answer.

I suppose in the case of this race, though, he has the handicap of not having raced yet this season, so he maybe shouldn't be expected to win.

Are we getting no coverage on this?

My hopes rest on cyclingtorrents then.

Edit: no TV coverage budgeted for this race. Bummer.

Glad to have you back! Hope to have you here the whole season =D

Who wants to put some money on Rein Taaramae??? He had a 2010 to forget! :(

Already done.

Taaramae $34
Hernandez $67
Navarro $67 - Both of them - if Contador isn't in form, which I doubt he would be, he will make a huge pace on the climb (try to and set it up for them).
Machado $8
Luis Leon $9

Small bets though.

Mørkov might be a guy to watch on the flat spots (if he can get over the hills). He is in super shape having just won a six-day track race in Copenhagen.

I wonder if Libertine seguros is out watching this race? (He's portuguese, right?)
The location on this profile says "Land of Saíz", which is close to Portugal, but not quite.

I dont think LS lives in Spain. For one he said his Spanish was weak whereas he uses German and Portugese on these boards.

I always thought LS lived in Britain as he had seen some shows which are exclusive to the bbc and hence would be very difficult and probably not worth it to watch outside of her Majesties lands.

And ACF, i know from the point of view of Australia all our european countries seem small, but Portugal isnt that small that simply living there means you can pop out and watch the Tour of Algarve, which is in the very south;)

Also how long is our resident cycling messenger and cryptic poster out for?

Gah! journalciclismo.com server isn't happy.

I know, I tried to access the site to follow the race, but the server wasn't too pleased to see me and kicked me out.
