Great, constant picture break up a la Colorado.
Now Eurosport's effing Brian Smith gives out the Plouay result, over the air.

It is a little choppy though, but I'm not sure if it's my internet that sucks today (which it does on weekends usually) or the stream itself

 

[screaming fist]

sastre prefers to get dropped first, then launch his recovery and attack @2 minutes behind.

once he attacked out of the front group. and won the tour de france.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

The two lads in the break are not going to enjoy this.

the stream is fine, the picture breaks are coming from the tv source.

this is breaking up too but not too badly

hope the network has had their fill of commercial breaks at this point in the race!

Thanks so much for the link. Sure better than watching Joel Osteen!

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Purito picking up 2secs in the intermediate sprint?

He must be very worried about the TT.

 

[cineteq]

Purito picking up 2secs in the intermediate sprint?

I think it's just 1 sec.

 

[Fetisoff]

Get outta here
He's upset at you!!!



yes I actually had to google who this Joel Osteen you keep talking about is.

 

[Fetisoff]

Sastre at the back already? How unexpected... not
