It will be interesting to see what the weaether is and the atmospheric conditions.
Hopefully some GE recruits can do well and bag some needed WT points.
Glad to see that SBS has some coverage to watch

I watched the TT coverage last night. FF'd most of it though
The speed that Tony M blasted past Sanchez was ludicrous - I know that he isn't well, but snappers
I liked the helicopter promo shots - must have been the only day with the combination of favourable wind, sunshine and plenty of editing .....
Stupid Chinese gov't not letting spectators on the TT course. Typical. Haven't they learned from the Olympics ?
Yes, haussler's win was good, and will be interesting to see tonights show.

Exciting finish to the stage this afternoon. Good to see a breakaway actually manage to get to the line (just) before being overwhelmed by the pack!
What channel is Phil comentating on?

I haven't heard of the tour of beijing before so my first thought was the emphasis it would place on bike handling skills, weaving through all that traffic .

Good to hear Phil Liggett calling the tour stages. Surprised at the evening prime time allocated on SBS2. Nice roads!
