The Vuelta Ciclista a Murcia has done a unique thing: they recorded the complete course of all stages with a camera in a car, and put the videos online, with profile indication. Wow! http://www.regmurcia.com/vueltamurcia/ -> click one of the 'etapas' and then the [Vídeo] button.
One thing, I first tried it with Firefox but they don't do a good job of recognizing its possibilities (or maybe it's my fault for not granting all mime bindings to Realplayer). Worked with IE.
Thanks for the link. I'll download the video tonight and watch it in slow motion.
Moron,
You're right, it was a nerdy r.b.tech style post, and I didn't watch more than a few minutes of the first stage myself. Still, I thought it was a noteworthy achievement of this small stage race, and possibly of interest to some geeks here. Maybe I'll check out stage 3 later to see if I recognize some of the beautiful countryside we saw from the bike a few weeks ago.

Don't get mad at me because Eddy Merckx was a doper who won all his races against an amateur peloton whose riders worked in factories during the off-season.
