  1. I bought a cycling.tv membership last night so that I could watch the
    Ventoux coverage today. It was better than I expected. A small but
    clear picture. The commentators were decent. One of them quickly
    identified Leipheimer as one of the strongest in the ten man chase
    group even though he'd done nothing but follow wheels to that point.
    When Leipheimer forced the final selection, he then correctly picked
    Menchov as the favorite to win the stage. Nothing too amazing, but good
    insightful commentary. And as much as I like Phil, Paul and Bob, it was
    nice to have a change of pace.

    There's are also some interesting archives on the cycling.tv site. I
    watched Roger Hammond win the British Cyclocross title last night.

    I'll have to try that some time but can't right now because I don't
    have a TV. We're renovating half of the duplex we live in, so we moved
    next door to ourselves and didn't bring a TV. All I have is a laptop
    that I'm using to pirate my own wireless network through the wall.
    Every morning I walk next door and steal my own paper. It's all very
    confusing.

    Your lucky, they are no longer showing the DL on terrestrial in France,
    instead you get some guys hitting a ball to and fro with some tennis
    bats. Not what I call sport.

    And cycling.tv doesn't let you watch the DL if you live in France.

    Ummmmm, okay, let me see if I've got this straight. You moved next
    door to yourself, steal from yourself, and two different Brets signed
    your post....

    Your meds ran out, didn't they? 😉
