Absolutely. I think I last saw him at Het Volk last year, so guess he didn't have a great spring classics campaign.

Gaviria vs Sagan will be a thing

Very pleased to see a young Aussie rider coming through with the same surname as me (and a certain blonde bombshell Moors murderess). Let's hope he can reclaim the name.

Jai Bleach?

Inrng reporting that Astana are on the brink of folding, they've yet to receive any of their sponsorship funds for 2018.

What a great name for a cycling team..

I like the description of Vinokourov in the latest Cycling Weekly: 'Bond villain'

They're off for the Omloop, season has officially started. Sun's out, sky is blue and it's bloody freezing with a nasty wind. Van Avermaet looking for his 3rd in a row.

They just passed here by my house.

Eurosport?

Is / has there a deal on annual subscription?

ah, nice ^ your kids? cool jerseys!

Yep, my 2 sons. Thanks, I like those jerseys myself. And I have the bikes that go with them on my attic. ;)

I just plumped for an annual subscription, didn't seem like bad value to me.

Annoyingly this site:
https://www.eurosport.co.uk/cycling/omloop-het-nieuwsblad/2018/road-race-men_mtc999177/live.shtml
Seemed to suggest to me that coverage would be on from 10.45, so invited pals around for 12. Coverage starts at 1.15.

Where are Moscon and Stannard?

Anyone know how Eurosport on the continent works? I'm about to renew, but worried commentary will be in Finnish. If that's the case, I'll just use "free" feeds for the season and save myself the 70 euros.

I think it just picks up the broadcast based on where you are. I bought my subscription in the UK, but seem to remember getting the French broadcast when I was on holiday there. If you use a VPN or DNS to make it think you are in the UK, you'll prob get UK broadcasts.

30 quid is alright!

Thought it might have gone up.

Depends, I guess. Here in Belgium it's part of a bundle (phone, tv, internet) tjat costs 70€ a month. But we have live coverage on national tv of most races.

I use Mullvad for VPN stuff. You can pay for one month at a time for same price.
Means I can choose country and watch things on Eurosport in my native language if I want.

Cheers guys. Prices with Eurosport + VPNs though. It just keeps adding up. I'll look into it though.

No commentary on eurosport?
