SNOW! :eek:

Wow, it knocked me for six so ACF is probably unconscience. I'll stand in for the Cadel fanboys, someone has to speak up amongst the haters. ;)

Belated but LunaJive, your threads have been great, simply because a) they're clearly marked and b) stickied. Keep up the good work.

Rumours of no pictures now until finish. ******. :(

Now does anyone have a link from justin.tv for the uk eurosports feed? Fromsport is not working (again) for me for one reason or another .

There's a helicopter up in the air now, and it's showing us pictures of mountains and stuff, but it doesn't know where the peloton is :)

Didn't he pretty much gift it to Valverde last year in exchange for possible help at the Tour?

seems so...he certainly did not hurt AV's strategy (that's for sure) as for the reciprocal??

Any way recon AC can cruise D and still have a good shot at podium/win without detriment to TdF chances.

Hehehe, the minute they showed 'live images' it froze again.

Poor RAI.

They just show a heli shot of the Gavia (probably recorded though).

Actually they now had a banner saying 'live image' on the heli shot. So ... maybe there's hope.

Eurosport now reports that the plane that reflects the radio signal can not fly because of the weather - so no live images before the finish line...

Eurosport are now playing motor GP.

They say they will be back later whether or not they can get live pictures.

You can see oil spilling from a pipe 1 mile under the ocean but not a bike race on a mountain. :rolleyes:

Probably a conspiracy, Liguigas getting towed up without anybody seeing..

The point is though that somehow the heli sent the image to ... someplace. Is the airplane still grounded? I'd assume not because where does the heli signal bounce off?

Not at all. He said going in that he wasn't going for the overall and that he was going to shadow Cuddles. That's what he did.

That was part of it, but I in the past few days I saw a quote from Valverde from that time saying he'd help Alberto at the Tour if needed.

This from the AC Press Room 4/23/10:

Have you seen the course of the Dauphiné, is also an objective at only three weeks before the Tour?


I've seen a bit and I know that we’ll climb Alpe D'Huez, but Dauphiné is a race that always I do very calm and this year will be equal. There I’ll think on the Tour and I will not speed up my preparation to win the Dauphiné.
