Tour Down Under Stage 1: Clare - Tanunda - 141km

[Publicus]

thats correct, although allegedly radio coverage on local adeliade radio

http://www.abc.net.au/adelaide/radi...u/adelaide/onair/891stream.ram&forumid=271566

from 10.30am their time, which i think is midnight uk, so erm.. 6pm eastern? maybe..

Thanks. I'm on the west coast (pacific time), so that's perfect. Thanks dimspace!

EDIT: Pretty clear audio. Will be odd not "seeing" the race though.

I think all of the teams are driving Skoda's today (I can't imagine they shipped team cars all the way to Australia).

yup.. the commentors arent annoying

five minutes, be interesting to see what they talk about once it gets going, radio is much more challenging to commentate on... i kinda like it, can work while listening..

I predict that a rider from Euskatel Euskadi and one from Footon will also be in the day's break.

Nice prediction on the Euskatel Euskadi. Still early enough for the Footon rider to join in.

I have to bail on the radio coverage. The woman just gushed quotes from Armstrong's twitter, and now they're talking about his four bodyguards.

Glenn Mitchell is an AFL and Cricket commentator primarily.

He can be very annoying at times but maybe that's just because I hear him so often.

Is that Liggett? Noooooooo!!!!!

EDIT: Ok, that was short-lived. If he was staying on for the entire broadcast, I would have had to drop off too.

Lance Armstrong = International Incident

The guy who said that, "No matter who wins, Lance Armstrong will win" is right on! Brilliant clarity!

Please see:

But now Liggett, ever the cheerleader for the greater good, predicts that LA will win!! Brilliant!

I just hope he runs for political office! I mean, I was actually considering that LA had finally seen the wisdom of criticisms that claimed he is a one race man. How clearly delusional I was!

"It's not about the bike." - LA

God damn right, it's about the Green!

And, the RED, WHITE, and BLUE!

God Bless America and Lance Armstrong!

Iguirre is in the lead with Kohler (BMC) and Dennis (Uni SA) chasing.

Evans has had a shoe problem...

TDU - Criterium Prelude - 31miles

My local paper is quoting results from yesterday's stage - 31 mile crit in Adelaide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was this part of the TDU or a separate event (no mention that I can see in CN)?

Henderson, Sutton & Geipel were 1st thru 3rd. Hincapie was 15th and Armstrong was 62nd at 8 sec back.

Are you blind? It's all over CN... there's forum threads, photos, articles and results (Cancer Council Helpline Classic).
