Amaël MOINARD (BMC)

Arrgghh.. New website filter at work. Any updates on here would be great... No more streams for me. I can't even get to Steephill to find a live ticker.

 

[Parbar]

hmmm, Fromsport is showing a 3 man break less than a minute ahead of a Lepard Trek led peloton approaching the ultimate climb

I don't understand Basque, but I am fairly certain that the last 3 minutes those eitb guys have talked more about the actual race and the riders than the eurosport dudes normally manges in a whole race, lol.

 

[sublimit]

Danish delight are showing ultra long distance rowing. the feed looks very clear though so hopefully some coverage soon.

Edit: Female boxing now.

They certainly do talk a lot Not a moment of silence.

 

[Ryaguas]

mmmmm I'll fancy Di Luca to go as a launchpad for Purito!
Ryder should take this one...
Diesels to lose time again = Basso

So theyve switched back to Basque from Spanish?

doesn't anyone apart from Basque

 

[Parbar]

Fromsport has just switched to stage 2

Different commentators. ETB1 is always in Basque. Yesterday's commentators weren't on ETB1, but on what I assume was some sort of satellite EITB channel. Check Team Sky Fans' site, it has the stream we were talking about (but it's not started yet).

No idea Hitch, I said Spanish yesterday and Jamsque corrected me and said i shouldnt call Basque Spanish, I am clueless in any case

 

[Mellow Velo]

Hurrah! The helicopter is in the air.

 

[Rubertow]

I don't Speak Basque or Spainish - so i am stuck with Harmon and Backstedt

 

[Havetts]

Sitting in library at school, cant listen anyway so I dont mind.
