[just some guy]

and



teamskyfans arent doing any streams this week as we head to scotland tommorow, and spain on Tuesday for a week.

Did anyone watch the team presentation last night / earlier? Not exactly scintillating, but they did preview the stages. During Team Sky's moment on stage, Wiggins looked cross, and when asked the perfunctory "interview" questions by the host, complained of being "treated like dogs for the past hour." That, at least, was entertaining.

Eurosport had time to kill, so they just showed some of it.
Some scaffolding and planks knocked up on the beach?
Austerity in Spain.

Wiggins looked painfully thin and rather glum, as did JVdB.

Anyhow, we have sunny Skil, ready to start.

 

[luckyboy]

Skil on the ramp now!!

Damn Eurosport Player seem to have done away with the HQ option.

 

[LaFleur]

Wow, the ramp is freaking steep and long, Schlecks would **** on themselves at this.

 

[Ferminal]

Wasn't expecting to stay up for this... but since I'm awake - let's get this on!

You sound like a NASCAR announcer

[Jamsque]

Garmin going with a strong team, they should lay down the early marker for good times.

Universal now beginning TV broadcast in states...but they ran opening images and commercials right as Garmin was starting down the ramp!?

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Footbalers on strike???

Do they think their wages are to low or something?

No, they are on strike because they don't get their wages payed at all.
Spanish football has severe financial problems, whichs is completly their own fault.

 

[luckyboy]

Yeay Boonen & Chavanel

The hill is the reason Guardini isn't showing up, he'd not make the time cut.

 

[Descender]

I'd like those babes to hold my saddle too.

 

[Ferminal]

Class suit there De Maar.

The music and "choreography" - let's just say it put viewers in the pain cave. Unbelievably bad.

I've met a good number of young Europeans who insist that procycling is a sport for middle-aged men - i.e., that no young people care about it. I doubt that's really true, but the "entertainment" on the beach last night certainly would have proven their point. What were they thinking?

Nice filter there
