I speak fluent English and German, and can do pretty well reading Spanish, Danish and Dutch.

I was originally hired to cover German cycling, by the way.

Any sort of live coverage?

Nope. only nightly roundups on french regional news (fr3). Will be video posted later either here, on teamskyfans (first) and then steephill and cyclingfever (later)

Any sort of live coverage?

There hasn't been any the last 3 stages so I'm afraid not. There is nothing on cyclingfans.com so far.

How about tomorrow?

same again tommorow. There maybe text updates tommorow, but the race is not shown live. Its a fairly small french regional race, they dont even show it on the national sports shows. Only regional tv. We will have the highlights up about 1930-1945 cet. About ten minutes after they are shown on french tv.

 

[DAOTEC]

3 leaders: Enrique Sanz (Movistar), Evaldas Siskevicius (Pomme) and Arnaud Courteille (FDJ) 1:12 +
