PrintLance knows something we don't (or did I miss this announcement?) and has announced it on Twitter an hour ago. It is Live Daily coverage of the Tour of California on Versus Channel. Last year it was evening delayed shows, not live.
And he also posted today that he, "Just shot some promo pieces for the Amgen Tour of California." so he should know.
"Coming Soon" is the current schedule status on the ToC site.

If Versus is showing it live then it wouldn't make sense for them to have free live coverage
on the website. It would cut into the rvenue that Versus will get for selling commercials for their coverage.

Free (poor quality) live video from ToC is a tradition
You don’t mess with tradition. So maybe I’ll get lucky and there will be free livefeed outside the US. Otherwise I’m casting the traditional swedish “No blondes for you !”-curse on Vesus.
(And that curse goes for you too Mr Armstrong – yeah that’s right – I love cancer.)

i'll join the cursing
if vesus cuts the free stream, no cali for me. which will be irritating, to say the least.
eehhhhh, you do know you live in the same state right?
It probably rolls by right outside your window. How big can Cali-for-ny-aye be?

California is roughly the same size as Sweden
counting all the endless frozen bits up north where Santa lives.
and that's the dilemma since
Finland, Sweden and Norway all are part of Lapland(Norway very slightly though)…. But for the kids, Santa comes from Finland. :D We even have THE Santapark here after all….

Wait a minute...
if Santa comes from Finland, and he delivers toys to every kid on earth in one night, a feat which is only possible if he has a time machine… and Bruce has a time machine as evidenced by the well documented “Bruce gap”… then BRUCE IS SANTA!
Santa Bruce,
Please send me a Pinarello. I have been a good boy.
Thanks!
Jimbo
Jimbo, you know,
this was my nr.1 on the wish list, to get you a Pinarello!
Other wishes from the family I could actually buy, but this one is up to the Santa, I’m powerless here, I did though link your excellent Pinarello posts to him, so if you believe in Santa, you might be surprised! :D
If you don’t receive a Pinarello as a Christmas present, the Velo gig looks tailor made for you, I’d buy a bike you’d recommend for sure! (That is for an amateur rider like me of course, not a Pinarello…)
And the truth is out!
That Bruce Gap thingy is just him trying to hide his super powers. Hey guys – we KNOW Santa. Holy crap.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
lol, this is so funny!
And to think I stopped believing in santa…..well now I know he’s actually real ;-)
Maybe the plans were changed?
Bork, bork, bork!

Santa is a Canadian citizen
it was announced today. And his postal code is H0H 0H0, kids all over the world send letters to him at that address each year that Canada Post handles.
um... big?
LOL, it’s probably not too much smaller than Italy. And has a GDP approximately equal to France.
It’s kinda big and stuff ;-)
Fifth largest economy in the world

We have established a tradition here
of turning over control of our globally significant government to movie actors. And the “no politics” rule prevents me from expanding further.
Good point
If there was a comment edit function, I would change that to say “people who have appeared in films”… But in the Gov’s defense, he was sort of acting in True Lies… sort of….
Psst--geography girl!
California is considerably larger than Italy:
Italy: 116,346.5 sq mi (301,338 sq km)
California: 163,696 sq mi (423,970 sq km)
Google is my domestique.
Italy might be smaller
but it has this 21 stage race that is incredibly awesome and amazingly beautiful and extremely important. Errr, is it May yet?

Someday
when the Central Valley is underwater, they’ll be about identical.

But then
As Africa continues its head long run into Europe, Italy will get smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller and…
(Of course Cali west of the San Andreas will be sliding northward and who knows maybe the western edge of North America will go north from the Salton sea thru Nevada.)
Yeah yeah
Someone will dig it up. Where else will all the marble countertops come from?

As Africa continues its head long run into Europe, Italy will get smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller and…
No geopolitics here!

THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED!!!
Oh yeah, that’s right, HWMNBN ain’t the revolution!!!
Racing for Victory and Free Beer!
Well I'm happy.
I can set my DVR to record while I’m at work. Sorry though for folks who had to rely on the intertubes feed. For those who have a choice and are bitching…
And on Eurosport
According to Anders Adamson, cycling expert on Swedish Eurosport.
Bork, bork, bork!
To quote Chris: Sweet fancy Moses!
That is good news.

But the curse is still on, right?

Its only opinion that there won't be live video via the ToC site.
Don’t get too upset until we know for sure. They might show the versus live show on the website.

Well, no doubt we'll be able to get it on the web via Russian Eurosport or something.
I wonder how you say doodsmak in Russian….?
lol
I was just thinking about that yesterday. I could end up watching a race in my home state through some bizarre web stream. That would be funny stuff, for sure.
Doodsmak, can there be a translation?
The translation on google
into English is “death smash” Now that is hard core

Back to the VS video
the same crew produces this race for VS as does TdG and ToM.
I hope they put better coverage together, or it would be a wasted opportunity to win over new fans.
based on vs's current "cyclism" schedule, yes, pretty much LIVE coverage for the last couple of hours
