Hats off to SBS for taking at least these 2 Classics so seriously, and going that little bit extra by putting this documentary on as well.
I'm not looking forward to the commentary (please, don't tell me again about the fact that the cobbles are only used by 240 year old farmers to take their cows to moonlight cinemas or whatever!) but I do love the whole atmosphere of this race!

"I lost by trying to win, the others rode only to make me lose. And in the end the one who was always in the wheels won. Congratulations to Nuyens, but for me [winning] like that has no value.â€
Some others were a bit cringe worthy though;
“I’m very happy: there were fifty of them behind a gladiator,â€
“In Flanders I was the only one of the big riders in front, and so I would say I am still the number one favourite,†he said. “I am the only man in the world who can make an attack like the one in Flanders, or in Roubaix in 2010. Everybody knows that if I’m at 100 percent they have to fasten their seatbelts, like on an aeroplane.â€

Monday off?? In that case you'll be joining Lou and I for a wee run in the Blue Mts?? Bowen Mt Rd (and maybe Hawkesbury Lookout) has been mentioned. You know you want to do it!Chuck wrote:Monday off - checkX-wing wrote:Man, not long to go now... beer - check. snacks - check. recorder set - check... come on Sunday!!

SBS start streaming it live on cyclingcentral at 9pm, available here which I'm guessing is going to be the best quality one available.norbs wrote:I expect to see links to live streaming gentlemen.

Eurosport is from 8:30pm on Foxtel. Should be epic.philip wrote:SBS start streaming it live on cyclingcentral at 9pm, available here which I'm guessing is going to be the best quality one available.norbs wrote:I expect to see links to live streaming gentlemen.
Question though, how is taking a day off after staying up until 0130am part of HTFU?
