Noticed that, can't see how they would not show it, and Fleche Waloone I hope.

You need to keep a close watch on the Foxtel program guide, it often doesn't get updated.
I'm in the habit now of checking each night before bedtime in case I need to set a recording.

I think Sagan also, but Gerrans is in with a shot... Hopefully.

I kinda hope he proves to have the best form and has a crack for himself in at least one of the three.

Normally best to go to http://steephill.tv and click through the links until you find the best live stream.

Tried to record it but Download Helper for Firefox did not recognise the stream.
I guess there must be a way to record streaming video but so far I have not worked it out.

I saw him in a chase group... he didn't look like he was too worried, wasn't on the front chasing anyway. Next I heard he was on the bus.

I saw him getting held up by the crash not that much but probably gave it up after then and just rolled over the line not pushing extremely hard.

"Frank Schleck declares himself one of the strongest at Amstel Gold"
I didn't see him all race on the telecast I watched.
