Cav bashing is fun and all but he deserves something for standing up and admitting his blame without qualification.
“Things could be worse, I’ve got everything. It was my fault at the end of the day.”

WHY are you watching NBC?
You find their voices comforting? Those doping facilitators!
I'm planning to watch the finish tomorrow in person:

Where are you streaming Eurosport? I've been able to do it on a PC laptop but can't find a stream that works on my iPad.Ryan J said:Marc - right ... Plus just the drama of a popular rider going out solo on day 1 of his last tour. These guys ride for screen time too. I think CV would know that at least! Anyway, yeah, I watch Eurosport about half the time - mostly when I can watch live. But sometimes it's easier to be able to just turn on the TV and watch the stage - especially if I'm watching after the fact. And the upside is that the camerawork is fantastic and the tour just looks so pretty in HD on a huge screen.

Feed is ok. Not too many popups for cute Russian girls and penis enlargement. Considering paying for the eurosport feed so for once every rider isn't a lego pixelated series of blocks. Nah, I'm too cheap for that. Gotta save money for the new Rapha t-shirt series.
But I can never get it to work on my iPad either.

Where does one pay for a eurosport feed? You can access it online? I think it might be worth it. These feeds kinda suck.
Jul 06, 2014 at 02:52 PM
you have to use a country proxy. We use tunnelbear, then subscribe at eurosport player, it's only like $6 a monthmperlberg said:Where does one pay for a eurosport feed? You can access it online? I think it might be worth it. These feeds kinda suck.

FWIW, I'm streaming the NBC Universal feed for $30 on my computer. No commercial breaks, no human interest stories. Just Phil and Paul making fools of themselves for hours at a time. I had hoped that their unwavering support of Lance would have been cause to put them out to pasture. ANd I can't get it to sync with NBC's Tour Tracker. Alas.
I'm not a fan, but I do want to support American networks streaming bike races.
I also have Tunnelbear. Pretty sweet setup and if I weren't working, I'd love to switch streams from flemish to french to Italian to Spanish to Aussie, with some Basque thrown in. If you can get SBS (australia) via tunnelbear, it's cheap and they're much easier going than P&P.

I played around with the Australian site and got tons of videos featuring.... eeeeekkkkk Phil and Paul. I might go the mattie route and subscribe to eurosport. It sounds like Sean Kelly is awake this year!

I subscribed to eurosport player UK. used hola unblocker and paypal to complete the transaction. comes to about $10 for the month (for just one month - it's cheaper per month if you subscribe for the year)
had to log out and log back in, couldn't get it to work with chrome (silverlight issue) but now its up and running in firefox with crystal clear HD video.

Maybe SKY should have brought Wiggo...froome has a gimpy wrist and the cobbles ain't gonna help
Jul 08, 2014 at 11:09 PM
Andy's stomach full of anger will live forever in the hearts and minds of those that believe (that he can dope his way back to the top again).

Fuglesang apparently said he spends more time fishing than riding his bike. I'd actually respect that if he wasn't taking up a pro tour spot.
Jul 09, 2014 at 02:38 AM
this is a good read...
especially this tid bit....who could it be, who could it be.....hmmm older rider...ex Saturn teammate... currently active....hmmm
"But Frischkorn suggests that there were also several other American riders who decided to take a different direction. He cites some well-known riders who were utilizing EPO programs during the Saturn years, and who had “unnatural” performance breakthroughs. “People knew it — that EPO could really change their performance.” Frischkorn tells of one older rider — still active in the professional peloton — who essentially explained to him the ropes of EPO usage; where to buy it, how to store it, and how to use it. “It wasn’t anything really dark or evil, and nobody was pressuring anyone. It was more just like your big brother showing you how to do something — just kind of trying to take care of you.”
Jul 09, 2014 at 12:42 PM
Team SKY and Chris Froome...thanks for playing...see you next year...maybe if you brought Wiggo....but you didn't.

I feel for Froome. The guy endured a ton of crashes the last few weeks. You can't blame the cobbles either. You have to be so unnaturally lean to climb well...this leaves nothing to absorb the impact of a crash. The tour just opened up for all the contenders. Who knows which teams can actually control the race and support a gc guy. [/spoiler]
Jul 09, 2014 at 01:56 PM

Don't get too weepy eyed of Froome; he's paid millions to ride his bike. Sure he lost a finishing bonus, but it's not like he's an amateur living out of his broken down car who crashed out before the scouts could see him perform....

For all of their recent dominance, between Froome and Cavendish and the decision to leave Wiggo home, British cycling is looking more and more like the British empire this morning...
