Postby Chuck » Sun Feb 26, 2012 12:37 pm
Feels like the season has really started now with Omloop Het Nieuwsblad having been run and won overnight....

Big Tom must have been licking his chops at the prospect of a three up sprint, nice job by Vanmarcke
Haussler might finally be moving towards the form of 2009.

Kurne, apparently feeling rubbish and still wins. Andre and Renshaw complain about other riders.

A review of the weekends racing addresses in part what you're talking about (point 2)....briztoon wrote:So when will GreenEdge show up. I get the feeling, that with all the young'uns focussing on the Olympics this year, that the team will struggle to do much of anything.

It's early days but there'd be a fair bit of pressure on Goss. I hope he responds.

Paris-Nice from 4/3
Tirreno-Adriatico from 7/3
Milano-Sanremo on 17/3
it's an extravaganza and we havent even got to the classics yet!
for those with Foxtel, all these will be on Eurosport

foxtel iq is brilliant - i just looged onto the foxtel website, did a keyword search on "cycling" and set everything to record in the next fortnight
i record everything and watch it when i get home from work. During Le Tour you have to avoid all forms of media and put your colleagues on notice not to give the results away. Other races are find though.

Don't forget to set the extra 30min record time for each programme, otherwise your classics season will be filled with Woman's TennisJV911 wrote:foxtel iq is brilliant - i just looged onto the foxtel website, did a keyword search on "cycling" and set everything to record in the next fortnight

Check out steephill and cyclingfans, there are always links (to the usual places) to get Eurosport feeds.

So is there any way to get Eurosport without Foxtel's packages that I don't want ?JV911 wrote:Strade Bianche on 4/3

Never mind, think I worked it out from Foxtel site. Seems like I can get it for $45/month + $100 install. Bit steep for this black duck.
Have I got it right ?

Edit - I read the TT's have been increased in length as well. There goes another minute. Does Andy know where Italy and Spain are?
