Omg, apparently, Fabian Cancellara was in Singapore en route to Melbourne for the race and he was riding at the coastal road we usually train on. I was supposed to ride that morning but skipped it, opting to sleep in instead. Damn!! =p

A friend of mine was standing next to him in Geelong yesterday.

I believe Rowena's trying to get an interview with Jeannie Longo & will post it here when & if she does...

Is any of you watching some of the events live, in Geelong? I had a chance to see the replay of the U23 time trial and the women's TT.

I haven't seen anything but I get the results on Twitter. Does anyone know if Versus will show highlights in the US? I tried to look it up on their website but didn't find anything (it's not very user friendly if you want to find something in their schedule).

[pll]

yes, I tuned in yesterday at 7PM EST... today is the men's TT, I think.

PS: Here's the TV schedule: http://www.universalsports.com/tv-listings/index.html (link on the home page, not the cycling section)

I just found the listings on the Universal website -- which is *much* easier to use than the Versus site for checking the schedule. Both sites are blocked at work, but I can check Universal on my phone and it's even easy to use on the small screen.

Phil and Paul are both covering the championships but I guess Versus decided not to show it. Oh well. Universal reruns the races a lot so there's plenty of chances to watch.

A local cycling dude (rides w a group that i'm looking at joining..) is over in Melbourne & posted some cool pics from the TT's yesterday.

Holy cow -- the U23 men's road race finished with a tie for third place! That's amazing.

Very cool! Hopefully the race will be aired in my area later today. What's with the guy in black and red, behind Thor, on the left... feet astride, unclipped before crossing the line?
