Ha ha, "Fête du chrono"

Hello.

There’s a cross stream too for those of you with muddy inclinations ;-)

"If I were World Road Race Champion, I would wear black shorts. That probably has more to do with me being on the wiser side of 30 and understanding better that the decisions I make now never really go away. White shorts would not be something I'd be proud of...." - David Millar, in Rouleur.

Oh of course

It’s at an unacceptable hour on a Sunday night / Monday morning, and there’s a live stream :-(. Naturally. Just to taunt Lou, who has a challenging day at work on the horizon, and cannot be staying up late :-(.

Ah, it’s OK… we already know who the winner will be ;-).

I'm still trying to work out what's going on...

but PG has had three, so I wonder if tiredness mightn’t prevent a fourth so soon?

Not tiredness... the quality of the competition ;-)

I'm on the same page now ;)

Anybody actually getting the video?

It seems like it might be loading, but it’s taking a long time, and CyclingFans says it buffers a lot.

Mine doesn't work. Bah.

Mine finally started, but it took forever to load.

Romain Bacon is finishing right now.

ok here with chrome

by Bruce Suomi on Oct 18, 2009 9:29 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I think I'm getting it live. Still a while til the Elite Mens?

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'

by Seahorse on Oct 18, 2009 9:30 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

No, Oliver Kaisen is just starting, from Silence-Lotto.

Thanks... that's what I mean about 'think' :(

They must be running them at the same time?

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 9:33 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

That makes a sort of sense..

My feed has a 'bubbly' audio, but it's Grivko :)

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'

by Seahorse on Oct 18, 2009 9:37 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yup, Grivko started next after Feillu.

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 9:38 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

A lot of men standing round chatting, not much racing

Are they only showing the starts?

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'

by Seahorse on Oct 18, 2009 9:40 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

They show finishes too, but not with, like, times.

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 9:40 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

What I haven't seen is the best time so far. Bruce?

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 9:36 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

That is confusing, they don't show them.

I don’t understand French so I have no idea what the times are

by Bruce Suomi on Oct 18, 2009 9:38 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I have jumpy video now

So the espoirs are finished now. Should be all elites from now on.

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 9:44 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

5 more to start.

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 9:44 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Last question and I'm sorry to ask, but how long is the course?

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'

by Seahorse on Oct 18, 2009 9:45 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

33.8km

by Bruce Suomi on Oct 18, 2009 9:45 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Thanks Bruce

Negotiating my way round the site has been a challenge.

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'

by Seahorse on Oct 18, 2009 9:46 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

np

yeah, took awhile for me too…

by Bruce Suomi on Oct 18, 2009 9:48 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Where do you see that?

Circuits et profils shows 48.5 for elites.

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 9:50 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

48.5 km.

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 9:47 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

that is correct, scratch my post

by Bruce Suomi on Oct 18, 2009 9:51 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

It's not the best site in the world, is it?

Takes 3-4 tries for me to load any of the pages, too.

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 9:52 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

yeah, same here.

by Bruce Suomi on Oct 18, 2009 9:55 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Phew. That was my problem too

but given my limited computer skills I was thinking it was me.

Talking up Phil Gil big time.

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 9:51 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Vino about to start--he'll be the last on the course.

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 9:53 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

I'm apologising ahead of time

but I hope he wins.

I'm only up to Monfort. Is that right?

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'

by Seahorse on Oct 18, 2009 10:01 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Guess they don't have a lot of cameras on the course.

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 9:58 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

My video has gone...I only have a screen of logos!

by Albertina on Oct 18, 2009 9:59 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

That seems to happen randomly

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'

by Seahorse on Oct 18, 2009 9:59 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I think the logos are just the empty podium. That's why I guessed no cameras on the course.

Nothing else to show if all they’ve got is cameras at start and finish, and no one is currently starting or finishing.

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 10:07 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Voeckler in the house?

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'

by Seahorse on Oct 18, 2009 10:04 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Hmm. I thought they were all on course now. I saw Vino a while back.

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 10:05 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

He was lurking... but Gilbert has taken off

Fashion observation: I love Voeckler’s black booties, although they don’t particularly go with his kit ;)

Looks like your feed is behind, Vino started a while ago

by Bruce Suomi on Oct 18, 2009 10:06 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I just don't get it. Are TV feeds hemispherist too?

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'

by Seahorse on Oct 18, 2009 10:08 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yeah, that can happen if the feed stops and starts.

I would recommend she stop it and restart to catch up, but with this feed there’s no guarantee it would restart.

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 10:09 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Harbonnier just finished--he was the 2nd elite to start.

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 10:06 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

would be helpful if we saw the times...

by Bruce Suomi on Oct 18, 2009 10:07 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Very..

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'

by Seahorse on Oct 18, 2009 10:09 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

They keep reading off a list of times, but they're all in the 32 minute range

so perhaps intermediate times?

Wait—as I was writing that, they started listing times over an hour. Will try to listen harder next time.

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 10:11 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Someone finished in 1h 4mins +secs

The Swede TT Champ(?)

If you click the video full screen, you see the times.

by Bruce Suomi on Oct 18, 2009 10:16 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

So at the intermediate check, it was

1. Vino
2. Monfort
3. Peraud
4. Krivtsov
5. Gilbert

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 10:30 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Krivtsov best time at finish, I think.

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 10:32 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

How many left on the course?

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'

by Seahorse on Oct 18, 2009 10:34 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

12 or 13, I think.

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 10:34 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Thanks.

Olivier Kaisen just finished, in 1:05:01 or thereabouts.

Not a podium time, but I’m damned if I know exactly where he is.

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 10:38 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Grivko 1:03:10

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 10:39 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I believe he's in 3rd for the moment.

You're doing brilliantly

My feed has just started reloading of its own accord. I’m not hopeful..

Best so far?

by Bruce Suomi on Oct 18, 2009 10:41 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I think they said 3rd.

I've put up with some choppy feeds etc without much whinging

but I’m increasingly irritated by the milling crowds. Ridiculous..

Great time.

He’s now 3rd.
I THINK it’s Krivtsov in 1st and Peraud in 2nd.

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 10:46 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

No, can't be Peraud...

by majope on Oct 18, 2009 10:47 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

He just finished in 1st.

I was watching this but have become distracted by the gymnastics.

Now I have no clue what’s going on!
