Ah, thats what happened. Hippy i didnt mean to alarm you. I have been out of loop a few days and am catching up on eurosport now. Sorenson rocked ftw today.

In other news, Ben Swift has won the Tour de Picardie.

Curiously, he's not an Aussie, but hey, you can't have everything.

He rode for Kinesis, I own a Kinesis and I am Aussie.. that's good enough to get you the GC win, obviously..

Righto. I thought something had happened post-race.

I thought there must be some kind of rational explanation.

Just seen Cadel's major effort for the win yesterday. Gotta love that

can anyone tell me where I can watch hi-lights of the Giro on the net? Without paying money to Eurosport?

I added Eurosport HD to my V+ bundle. Fuck streaming. No offence, like. :)

thanks hippy, I'm too poor to have cable or sky

Watch the ToC yesterday evening in HD. Definitely makes it much easier to see what is what.

TdF is supposed to be in HD as well this year.

steephill as recommended above.

I'm not quite sure, though, what you mean by 'highlights'? (It could refer to Filippo Pozzato's hair, y'know. :) )

If you want to watch the last few k of a stage, that's usually on YouTube in short order. There are video highlights (of each stage, I think) on the gazzetta.it site. I couldn't get that to work in Firefox when I tried just now and suspect you might have to use IE.

DH world cup (Slovenia) is on Eurosport now.

Is this the most wins ever by Australians in a Grand Tour?

tis a shame when you watch the giro on the hd channel it's not!

missing comma.

sbs do a nice recap. Its only 5 mins long but shows the main points of the stage.

Andy Schleck out the back of the breakaway in the ToC. Churning squares at the moment.

I haven't had any time all week to watch the Dauphiné, but what is that English Eurosport commentary? Dreadful. I've had to switch it off.

Alpe d'Huez now on.

Loads of attacks - Love it!

Well, that was fun to watch. No idea whether Shady Racket are clean, but no rider seemed to be unduly strong.

I've been recording this on sky plus and watching it later in the evening. If I had a quid for every time the recording ended about 5k from the finish I'd have at least umm, £2. Bloody Eurosport. It even failed when I tried recording the highlights to hopefully catch the finish of the first day in the mountains.

You ALWAYS have to record the Live coverage and the follow up highlights version, later that night or before the next day's live edition. I know this from bitter experience.
