Vuelta... anyone watching?

[papaver]

I'm watching right now, and I have never seen such a big crowd. They are still in the Netherlands...

[redrhodie]

I'm jealous! Versus, the cable channel that shows cycling here, isn't showing it. No cycling on today at all.

How's Vino looking?

Haven't seen him yet.

Yesterday Cancellara won (time travel), Tom Boonen was second. Vinocourov 7th

Today it'll be a mass sprint...


You can watch live now...

On your far right you see (in green print) Rit 2: Assen-Emmen. Click on it, they are on air right now

It's being shown in the US on Universal Sports.

Universal Sports is also showing live webcasts:

Thanks! I'm sure I could find it English, too. I really prefer watching on tv (the sound on my computer is lousy, and I get a lot of picture freeze). I don't understand why they don't show it. Except for le tour, they don't show much cycling in the US.

You're really lucky!

I read the crowds were heckling Vino yesterday during the time trial. I wonder if that will impact his performance at all. I bet it doesn't.

Your cable provider might carry universal sports -- give this link a try:

My cable provider, AT&T, doesn't carry it, but we have an old TV hooked up to a digital converter box & can get it over the air on channel 11.3

Right But is the Vuelta on Versus? VS is channel 640 & 1640 on u-verse (ATT's fiber optic cable-like product thingie) 200 or over.

If you have U-verse 100, or U Family it's not on there. Betcha ATT'd love to have you upgrade.

I have Dishnetwork, which does not have Universal sports. U. Sports urges me to call and e-mail and demand that they add it

Redrhodie pointed out in the second post that it's not on Versus.

[redrhodie]

Nope, Universal not available on Cox here. I wonder if the hi-def version of Versus is showing it? I don't get that, either. We do, however, still have milkmen delivering milk on my street. I'm living in the stone age over here!

[Trek420]

Sorry, my bad. Ahhhhhh, milkmen, I miss that. Waking up and trundling out to pick up the cartons of milk and cottage cheese in the cooler in the garage. You're not in the stoneage, I'd rather have that then u-verse.

Here they interview Fabian and Tyler, have results and such. Ah, nothing live? Wrap up only Oct 11 @ 5PM ET

I'm watching the re-broadcast right now on USN.

Too funny - even though it's a super-flat stage (its in the Netherlands after all), they're giving out KOM points.

There was a whopping 10 meter climb -- must have been a highway overpass.

Papaver, any chance you'll get to see the stage that goes into Belgium?

[papaver]

So it is passing 50 kms from here (Liege) on Tuesday. But I can't go then, I've got a very important meeting in the afternoon...
