Relax. just go to cyclingfans.com or steephill.tv and keep checking back. Eurosport go live at 21:30 CET, and there will inevitably be some streams come up then. Otherwise you'd just be looking at a blank screen for the next two hours.

or here

i actually find procyclinglive the most reliable (streams are up days before) and the easiest to navigate. .and they update during the races and on twitter. They tend to link to the minor races as well that steve and cyclingfans dont.
 
Man I'm pumped. Three weeks of racing and about 5 guys who I think are in there with a realistic chance to win (which by GT standards these days is pretty high). The only shame is those thoroughly disgusting classification leaders jerseys that we will have to stare at over the next 23 days.

C'mon... Start already!

I'm pumped as it isn't the Tour.
23 days without the opportunity to cluelessly name drop.
Plus, this Vuelta has followed the Giro model.
Cruel.
Diesels need not apply.


..............Oh yes, I almost forgot. Came on to say the Eurosport girlie tennis has gone on forever, so expect a start delay.

I guess.... But Caroline Wozniakcki is really cute, so if she takes another win, I'd wait for her.... Not for the hag she was playing against though.

Ladies tennis always goes to 7-6 final set when preceding bike racing.. 2 Russians or ex Soviet bloc players that nobody cares about apart from several people.. It always happens.

Only Canvas+ for today... The Flemish have no love for their northern neighbors today (all the regular-time stages will be on Een as usual tho).

NOS wont show it on TV either; but they will stream it on their website, although no word whether there will be commentary.

My top five:

1. Saxo
2. Garmin
3. HTC Columbia
4. Liquigas
5. Caisse

I hope Xacobeo can limit their losses, as I'd like to see Mosquera podium.

Damn, those Belgians. We need to reclaim our territory :p
What I saw, there was no commentary. (which actually is better :p)
But I can just put on British Eurosport audio, as I can only find audio for that. Why, is it easier to find streams from some really small races, than to find good streams from an event as big as the Vuelta, really strange

Wozniacki chose the wrong country. We all feel sorry for Denmarks lack of sporting talent but i think it was a step to far to take their national identity. Especially since her whole family is Polish, represented the country at other sports and it is the language she is most comfortable with - uses on court. Besides compared to most Polish girls she really isnt that special.

Well, I imagine it wont be a problem after today... It's just that the freak-show time of today's stage means there is limited coverage.

Whatever... It doesn't really matter for tennis anyway what country someone choose to represent. The Davis & Fed Cups are completely irrelevant and noone actually cares about them, so it's really only down to the Olympics where nationalities really count, and that's just once every four years.

Also, I never said that I think Wozniacki is the hottest woman out there... I said cute, which she is. Cute as a button, in fact.

Spanish TV has just switched from Moto2 qualifying session to the Vuelta. Signal should be available for other broadcasters.

I dont know. Here people still salivate at the idea of a enlish person, i mean British person, winning a Grand slam. they are so desperate even a Scotsman will do:p

Kind of like you guys like Gesink, Mollema etc. Does it matter that it is in many ways an individual sport?
