It's for just in case he wins....you don't want your outfit to clash with your shoes...

Pezrider said:What is Farrar like in a uphill finish?
He was close (without looking likely) yesterday after a slight mistake about 150m-200m from memory???

didosmom said:Hi. I'm new to the forum. I just have a question regarding the live coverage and I quote
14:32 CEST (123km remaining from 192km)
If Mark Cavendish can win today in Saint-Fargeau he will equal Barry Hoban's record of eight Tour de France stage wins. While Barry spread his wins across the period of 1967 and 1975, Cavendish will have equalled the feat in the space of two years.
Um, what do they mean by 8 TdF stage wins being a record? Didn't Lance Armstrong do much better? I'm confused.
msjett said:Ahh...That would make sense...well you aren't really missing much...
39*23t said:that would be the record for a british rider
Pezrider said:Yeah but we have had it at 8:30 WST every night. 6:00 WST on weekends?
Maybe they stuffed up or no ratings?
I Hate This Backward State, what will we get next clean drinking water? Electricity?
msjett said:LMAO...I am not sure, maybe the stuffed up the programming, is it on SBS 1?
Buffalo Soldier said:top 8 at most in a group sprint.
Maybe boonen, if he can get his team on a line
didosmom said:Ah, thanks. They didn't make it clear, did they?

Pezrider said:They finished that program at 9:30pm WST then went and showed a recap of last nights stage, got 10mins in and cut to tonights live stage now without warning.
One minute watching the 4 man breakaway of yesterday then cut within a second to todays 2 man break (kinda freaked me out)
haha
Im happy now!! The SBS boys must have been on the ****!
