sorry, wont do it again. Pardon my ignorance but is there Giro coverage in Australia now?

Van Hout can TT well thats about all. In a real TT that is, not this 1k sprint.

no probs. got a right bollocking th first time i did it! 😄

which town/state is he from?

shows just how strong those sprinter types are to sustain it not just oover the last 2-300m but a whole 1150m!

could be kinda cool seeing the guys winning the early flat/sprint stages actually wearing the leader's jersey for a change .always looks a little wierd seein robbie and alajet winning yet not wearing it 🙄

gonna be a cool race with Cunego n Simeoni and the smokeys like Discovery's hope, Tom Danielson with good backing having a go. Is Cadel in or are they aving him for the TdF?

What:
About 2 hours live coverage every night in Italian plus another hour wrapup
with the 'Giro chat-show'.
Where:
Foxtel : upgrade to RAI for 1 month for about 15$ (NB: weekend football
usually knocks cycling off primetime)

Here is Monday's schedule (ora locale is usually Perth time :
http://www.international.rai.it/tv/palinsesti/tvsud/20050509.shtml

..........................or 2 minutes every night on SBS .

LOL, I bet Mario Cipollini thought this would be a good idea on paper, but in reality he looks like a giant .....!

The interesting question here is "where is Graham Brown?"

Isn't the Giro his main event? He had good form at Langakawi
or wherever it's called in Malaysia? Is he injured (again)? I
can't recall the URL for his website and my googling fingers
are too cold to type today!

The important thing is...Now that O'Grady has finished with it can I
have his Wilier?

I might have to replace the 14t cog with something sensible (like a 27t
if I'm going to use it with 53t cranks). Of course I'm not interested
if he went with the 54t.

How much must it have cost for a one off like that? I was hoping that
he might place a little higher.

Cheers
