I find these South African commentators very informative and easy to listen to

If they're not drafting I don't know what they're up to. I thought they weren't allowed to do that?

It's do or die for millar today. only shot at yellow he's got.

You can't draft in a Triathlon. On the road it's fine, just another aspect of the bendy rule cheating culture.

Damn this linux box and its lack of any video decoders!!

mikec's justin.tv feed works nicely for me in Linux.

Should for anyone - it's just flash, no?

Tried various links and whatnot but whatever install of Flash is on here is very flaky, and our sysadmin is a lazy fecker.

Think I'm gonna have to make do with the beeb commentry.

I used to have flash issues with the previous version of Ubuntu. But the latest version, Jaunty Jackalope with Flash player 10 is fine

My bandwidth sucks - I'm being driven nuts by buffering....

wheel-sucker - a rider who refuses to co-operate with pace-making and instead constantly rides in the slipstream of others, thus saving energy while irratating his rivals. Also used as a term of abuse..

Not that... when I posted it the breakaway were enjoying a slipstream behind a car.

Hushovd and Rogers down..
