hate to party and run...
but work beckons…
YAY CHAV!!
have a great day (or evening or night), folks!
Gav!
Racso has the post race thing going on, if you have time to watch it, please translate what you can! I don’t understand a word, Chechu is being interwiewed now…
ack
i didn’t think they’d leave it on, so i missed most of it. i’ll watch for it the coming stages. looks like they’re doing a stage preview for tomorrow right now. lol, cutey music.
lol, si!
I think they cut the feed around 6pm local time, today they had a lot of interwiews again, since the stage was so short.
I wish Levi got a few more days in the leader’s jersey, but it’s also nice to see the prizes spread around.
And good for Bettini to get a stage win!
He meant what he said...

sopcast...?
is there any subscribers to this service…? When I tried to install their app—my security software went ballistic, so I scrapped the idea.

i haven't tried it.
I’ve just been using the linkies off cyclingfans. For most races, I’ve been able to find something there.
I think that's what I'll be doing next year.
it’ll be hit and miss, but that’s what I’m putting up with at the moment with my CTV subscription.
live to ride, ride to live
for me
it’s been more hit than miss. it’s pretty rare not to find something. sometimes quality is iffy, but at least it’s something.
a nice proxy server or two would be optimal. but i never get around to looking for one. maybe in the offy.
well... that how I ended up watching the
Tour of Flanders this spring…through the Norway feed because I could not log into ctv.

I use the official download to watch non-US broadcast football ...
… and my security software hasn’t gone nuts. There IS a little program called SopAdv.exe that you can eliminate if you feel so inclined… it is the piece that serves up the ads in the program. Other than that, it’s a pretty solid bit of software with better quality usually than things like TVU or TVAnts or Justin.TV
I know, it said "als" instead of "ist"... don't give me any crap...
tomorrow's stage in andorra
there’s a highway climb… then, a long climb – steep at the beginning, the gradient lessens over the course of it. twisty, technical, fast descent. another climb to the finish – steep, mountainous. beautiful countryside.
should change the gc. not easy roads, but also, probably won’t blow the race open entirely.
oh, and their pre-rider guy is way less-hot than cassani. just sayin’
Really?
Sweet. I totally missed that – this is the first day I’ve watched the post-race thingy. LOL, Cassani is still much hotter.
the post-race thingy is interesting
one day they had Olano to discuss the problems with the course and some other things
another day Sastre and Contador
another day Freire and Valverde
another day Caisse d’Epargne and Euskaltel directors (Unzue and Galdeano)
today it was scheduled that Bruyneel was going to be there but he couldn’t make it.
and if you followed the the race maybe you heard an old guy talking, that was Bahamontes, the Eagle of Toledo!

cool
I’ll make sure to stop in. The post-race shows are my favorite – almost as fun as the stages for me.
not me...that's why I'm asking about sopcast...
as for c.tv, I’m too tired of it to complain.

CTV scrolling message:
“Our apologies for any technical difficulties experienced today. Vuelta a Espana Stage Six – Full AS LIVE coverage will be available in Video on Demand at approximately 17:30 GMT +1.”
OK, the ones we deal with are extremely nice, cute, friendly, young, and bouncy, but is the entire org. made up of twits, twerps and twinks? Where’s the old dude who dresses badly, chews cigars and rides everyone’s ass if things are not ship-shape BEFORE the webcast (or his female equivalent)? Seems like that post must be empty.
FREEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!
I know, it said "als" instead of "ist"... don't give me any crap...
Hehehhee
“Happy Halloween Ladies!”
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum."
Nuns... no sense of humor...
Just watched that a couple weeks ago… I do a fair Clancy Brown imitation…
I know, it said "als" instead of "ist"... don't give me any crap...
Do you now?
Will you break it out in February?
“Ramirez was an effete snob.”

He doesn't LOOK seven feet tall.
But I DOES kill men by the hundreds; and consume the English with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse
Not sure of your use of the semicolon there big boy...
I know, it said "als" instead of "ist"... don't give me any crap...
Semicolon?
…what the…? See, what happened was…
That’s what I get for trying to do my REAL job while blogging.
Prediction for Saturday
Astana on tempo all day. Climbers run up the road and are swept up on the final climb. Contador attacks half-way up the Andorra and puts minutes in on everybody.
[Copied straight from Johan’s little black book, page 14]
What if
the Astana-guys accidentally turn to page 15 and spend the entire day trying to screw things up for Floyd Landis? Could the other teams benefit from the confusion?
Carlos Sastre - Tour de France winner - Born From Jets
I really don't see
how that’s going to screw up Floyd worse than things are currently.
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum."
nah,
I think Contador/Levi/Klöden will just follow the attacks, and wait for next weekend…
Angliru seems unhuman, especially in a stage race.
not sure the climb is hard enough
They didn’t show the whole climb on the post-race show, but it didn’t look hard enough to create minutes-big gaps. The stage didn’t look overly hard – I expect a good-sized group at the finish and a win from someone like Valverde who can climb, but has a quick finish. If Cunego can keep it tire-side down, and has some form, he might be able to do something with this finish also. The jersey should change hands, but the GC will probably stay pretty close. I suppose it’s possible they let a break go, but I’d expect Caisse to work for a possible Valverde stage win.
Should be good watchings.
begin today the Tour de l'Avenir
the last race of Cup Nations
Portugal leads the ranking :), hope for a good race of Rui Costa.
