Okay, so this morning, I've put my ride on hold to watch the TT live - this is just too exciting to wait and be watched via Tivo!!
Anyone else watching live today?
I sure hope the rain here in Miami holds off so I can ride after the TT:)

We are... :)
Me too! I actually thought about setting up the trainer so I could watch and ride, but I've decided to just make it a rest day and enjoy the race.;)
Go Floyd!
Dang it! I got up too late to get to the house I'm housesitting so I could watch OLN. So I'm trying to "watch" on the cyclingnews live commentary, but it seems to have STOPPED after Floyd passed the 2nd time point. I'm going crazy! What's happening?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAG!!! The suspense is driving me MAAAAAAAAAD!!! Who won the stage? Where does Floyd stand?
(note to self: alarm clocks are good on a Saturday morning when the TdF is at 5:30 am PDT and I need to drive somewhere to watch it)
Read my new post to see who won... oops. Hope no one noticed....
SPOILER ALERT!!!! SPOILER BELOW!!!!
SPOILER ALERT! DON'T SCROLL DOWN!
I MEAN IT!!! SPOILER!!!
YOU'LL BE SORRY! UNCONTROLABLE SPOILER BELOW!
Whew, it finally updated...
YAYAYAYAYAYAY FLOYD!!!! "I support Floyd Landis" "Who's your elder?"
WOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!:D :D :D
Why did the officials make Floyd lower his bars?
Sorry, I thought the thread title had "spoiler" in it and then I didn't know what to do once I posted that in reponse to your question...
Aacck....:eek:
Hee hee, you must've posted as I was posting, so I never saw your post 'til after I did my post!:D
If you want to do a spoiler alert on yours, go back to your post and click "edit" at the bottom of the post. It'll give you a text box. Adjust your text the way you want, then click "save" (in the text box).
I had a ****ens of a time figuring out I had to hit "save" and not "edit" again.

I'm so happy for FLOYD and his dead thigh bone. I hope the hip replacement doesn't screw him up.:(

V.
Floyd's aero bars were tilted just a fraction too high... they have lowered them just millimetres to be at the max height within the regs.
There are many regs around competition events as Veronica said...
weight of bike
crank length
seat height
how far/back seat is allowed to be
distance between seat and bars
the size of the triangle
... and on it goes...
If you turn up to an event and the commissairs (sp?) measure your bike and it doesn't meet the specs, you will not be allowed to race.
