October 9, 1-hour highlight show. No Zuri, No Lombardia
Paris-Tours. The site calls it "the 9th phase of the World Cup" so they probably just copied a blurb from last year that they got from Google.
If it's anything like the Vuelta coverage I won't need a tape for the VCR.
covering a 3 week race in an hour long show is almost more insulting than not showing it at all to my mind. but an hour of paris tour should be worth watching- thanks for the notice! i wouldn't have thought to check.
It depends on the weather. I would like to see a cold, windy and rainy P-T. That reminds me to the early spring classics and especially to Nico Eeckhout's solo in Dwars door Vlaanderen a few years ago. If chocolade jacques is allowed to participate and the weather is bad, he's definitely a favourite concidering his excellent form during the last weeks.
His season ended with a collar bone fracture Aug 20, a fever right before T.o.Poland which apparently was some virus, that now still keeps him training. Or training seriously, at least. So hasn't raced after the fracture.
