have a look on youtube on "watching bbc iplayer from abroad" lots of instructional videos to allow you to watch the bbc feed

It might have been very different if there was a strong wind.

Yeh a gamble which hasn't exactly paid off... We're left with a 170km circuit race now as the peloton are treating it like a Tour stage.

7 Yanks coming to the front looks like they might close it down

and the bbc website feed has just changed to the sports news feed which was nice.

 

[luckyboy]

I think they are only licensed to broadcast a delayed feed.

Ah, that sucks.

If you're in the uk go to the bbc website and there is live coverage there

Yeah I was already watching. Just don't like the commentators much. And now it has just been interrupted by rugby news!?

 

[Izzy eviel]

WTF Is this ****?? Why are they showing football half way thru the race!!!

 

[Roland Rat]

Hey! Oh! What's with the Soccerball news on the BBC feed?

 

[Spare Tyre]

Whenever I switch to the race tab the producer is fellating an Aussie rider happily hanging around in the bunch.

Really? Now that has given me an image I'd perhaps rather not have.

The Dutch finding the tarmac again.

 

[Teddler]

This massive gap means the peloton are going to have to go hard from very early, probably before the circuits to avoid being lapped. Could make for a hard race despite a quiet first 60kms.

 

[Francois the Postman]

Uci ruling on lapped riders. Not overly clear

Which bit isn't clear?

 

[Spare Tyre]

So it's 23' or so between the leaders and the peloton? Liggett & Sherwen said that's approx 14 km, I think.

This happens quite often with the beeb online. they switch the feeds for the tv viewers but forget it ****s up the online viewers and i have no idea where to find the cycling now

 

[Jancouver]

Anybody got link to a live ENGLISH feed fir US viewing?

 

[luckyboy]

Just gonna watch a foreign feed. The BBC's will be back by the important part. Probably.

I was going to say it doesn't matter since they would have taken the circuit just as easy at first, but those 5 or 6 extra climbs they won't be doing might have hurt.
(I'm only counting the big one)

I bet Porter flicked the switch so he can get some more sleep.

 

[Izzy eviel]

You guys will have to translate if anything important happens. What language is it?

 

[Roland Rat]

BBC's back

 

[Roland Rat]

Just in time for the start of the circuits.

 

[Carlo Algatrensig]

BBC's back

Thankfully i wonder if it was my tweet to boardman that got it back on

 

[Spare Tyre]

Gotta say this is by far the nicest day we have had weather-wise for a few months. Nice for the cyclists, pity for us it wasn't blowing a gale.

 

[Izzy eviel]

Phew! I was just about to start writing my letter of complaint to Points of View
