p2pstation.net is gone. Don't feel like chasing it, I'm sticking with the Flemish feed which never seems to drop.

Contador

Looks like Astana must be confident in Contador.

Because they are at the front?

Good to get some practice in at it

 

[franciep10]

Astana's jerseys look pretty when they are all strung out like that

Yes. And because it is good practice.

p2p station just had to be refreshed, working well

 

[Big GMaC]

That is a great camera shot, with astana and Saxo in the long line

I'm back. Thanks for the suggestion.

Not really liking the stupid blue stripe on the back of the Sky jerseys.

At least the shorts are not brown.

The coverage screams for a color commentator.

Is this Matt Keenen commentating on the p2pstation stream?

I always find it interesting to see what teams do when they KNOW what is coming. You know Astana is setting up to launch AC, what does a team do to stop it?

 

[franciep10]

why is caisse on the back

Commentators were saying they were taking off their leg warmers, which seems nuts in -2 degrees (Celsius).

The following set up seems to work best for me:

watching a eurosport link (mute the sound)
http://www.fromsport.com/video-194828.html

Listening to p2p in English (it reloads automatically when interrupted)
http://www.p2pstation.net/

And getting up to date fine details from live aso ticker
http://www.letour.fr/2010/PNC/LIVE/us/400/index.html

works really well and keeps running even when eurosport plays commercials

Leg warmers still apparent, I think it was for food/powergel

Nothing. What can they do?

It's interesting the way Contador is bundled up. It's like Astana is not taking any chances of him getting chilled. I'm taking it as another sign that Contador will go for the win.

 

[sometriguy]

Anyone else hold their breath everytime a rider strips down while riding in a group?

Granted, I am the worst bike handler on the planet and I understand they are pros, but whew!

The coverage screams for a color commentator.

Blue- the new black
Red- looks good on Ferraris
Green- unlucky for race cars
Yellow- favorite color of some bicyclists
White- never after Labor day
Purple- symbol of royalty
Orange- tastes good

Is this Matt Keenen commentating on the p2pstation stream?

I reckon. Normally just does the lead in coverage before Phil and Paul start, in Aus coverage at least.

He took off his jacket, so they must be riding at a pretty good tempo atm.

The Shack are in a huddle. Turquoise on the front, orange on the back.
