Coupe de France 1st manche

Thnx, Daotec. Do you know if there will be a livestream?

- The Grand Prix Cycliste la Marseillaise, the traditional road season opener in Europe, is today. Coverage is limited, it is not live on TV, even in France. But we should have some videos to post later.

(But if me sensors pick some up you will be the first to know.)

with 10k to go Jérémy Roy (FDJ) on a solo, is not to close to be called the winner, with the peloton still over 3 minutes behind.

Sylvain Georges (BigMat-Auber 93) a minute down in 2nd ...

I'm a fan of Roy, so I'm happy to see him win. A lot of guy's finished outside the time limit today.

I just noticed the same. I wonder how hard they rode this stage looking at the results. Huge gaps and about half of the peloton outside the time limit.
Will they be allowed to start again?
Must've been a good stage to watch.

It's a single day race.

Étoile de Bessèges itself starts on Wednesday.

final teams are not decided until the team managers meeting, (usually around 17:00 CET the day prior to the race.) Look for Piet to update
http://www.cyclingstartlists.com/2011/02Feb2011/03Besseges2011.htm
shortly after.

http://www.cyclingfever.com/editie.html?detp=view&_ap=startlijst&editie_idd=MjE3MjY=
will probably not update until early hours of tomorrow, as the compiler has a 'proper job' and will be at work 'til then :(
